James Duckworth vs Alex de Minaur prediction
James Duckworth will face a second straight Aussie after surging to victory against Chris O’Connell.
The world number 86 beat the qualifier 6-3 6-1 but will expect a much tougher test when he faces Alex de Minaur.
Demon continues to go deep in draws and will be keen to push on in Canada after coming up short in his Washington title defence.
This will be their third meeting and de Minaur has won the previous two without dropping a set.
There’s little to suggest it won’t go the same way with the third seed too quick and consistent for his ageing compatriot.
James Duckworth vs Alex de Minaur tip: Alex de Minaur to win 2-0
