Joao Fonseca vs Tommy Paul prediction
It says much about the rise of Joao Fonseca that he is seen by many as a slight favourite against Tommy Paul.
The Brazilian starlet made short work of qualifier Elmer Moller in the first round to tee up what promises to be a fun spectacle with the 11th seed.
Paul warmed up for the European swing with a semi-final run in Houston and is certainly no slouch on the dirt, pushing to the third round at the Caja Magica last year.
The explosive nature of Fonseca’s game and the fact the 18-year-old won a title on the surface in Buenos Aires back in February suggest he could be a force to be reckoned with over the next six weeks and he’s a decent bet to upset the seed here.
