Luciano Darderi vs Dalibor Svrcina prediction

These two players know each other well, having previously locked horns five times in the past. Their most recent encounter came earlier this year in Los Cabos when Luciano Darderi was forced to retire early on. Fast forward to now and Dalibor Svricna in his first appearance in the US Open men’s singles main draw has reached the second round, after winning a five-setter against Valentin Royer.

As impressive as that first-round victory was, it no doubt took a lot of stress out of Svrcina from a physical and mental perspective and it’ll be very difficult for him to raise those performance levels again vs Darderi. Whilst he’s likely to pick up at least a set, the sensible move would be backing a Darderi victory.
