Matteo Berrettini vs Jacob Fearnley prediction
Matteo Berrettini’s clay court campaign began brilliantly, with the scalp of top seed and world number two Alexander Zverev in the second-round of the Monte-Carlo Masters. The Italian won from a set down to advance to the next round but then fell to a straight sets loss to compatriot Lorenzo Musetti.
Since then, the Italian’s injury problems have resurfaced yet again as he withdrew from the BMW open due to a foot injury and then retired from his third-round match with Jack Draper in Madrid due to an abdominal problem.
Jacob Fearnely has already faced a home favourite in the previous round but came through with a comfortable 6-2 6-3 win over veteran Fabio Fognini, breaking his opponent’s serve on five separate occasions.
There are question marks over Berrettini’s fitness and Fearnley has had an encouraging run on the clay over the past month. We’re backing the 2021 Wimbledon finalist to get through but in three sets.
Matteo Berrettini vs Jacob Fearnley tip: Matteo Berrettini to win 2-1
