Marin Cilic vs Corentin Moutet prediction

Corentin Moutet will be a surprise but clear favourite when he meets Marin Cilic for a third time in Shanghai.

The Frenchman is in the form of his life and sits inside the top 40 on the back of runs to the last four in Hangzhou and the round of 16 in Beijing.

In contrast, the veteran Cilic is on the brink of tumbling back outside the top 100 after his solid run on grass has been followed by six straight defeats.

The head-to-head is finely poised at 1-1 with a win apiece on hardcourts, but the Croatian’s came back in 2020, while Moutet prevailed in straight sets in a Davis Cup match this year.

The momentum and confidence is all with Moutet right now and if he hits similar levels of tennis to that of recent tournaments, he should have too much movement and consistency for the former US Open champion.
