James Duckworth vs Flavio Cobolli prediction
James Duckworth continued his progress in Altmaty with a brilliant performance to dump seventh seed Gabriel Diallo out of the tournament. The Australian served extremely well as he didn’t give up one break point during the match, which ended up lasting two hours and 30 minutes. He also won a staggering 94% of his points on first serve. Duckworth now has won four straight matches, including the qualifying stages.
He faces Flavio Cobolli next. Cobolli produced a professional display to get past Rinky Hijikata in straight sets. He went 3-0 down in the second set but recovered well to draw level and then break right at the end to win 6-4 7-5.
They played against each other for the first time in New York two months ago, with Cobolli winning in four sets in the first-round. The Italian will be the clear favourite, but he has shown signs of slowing down lately, while Duckworth is performing at his best level for quite some time.
