Taylor Fritz vs Cristian Garin Prediction
Taylor Fritz looked every inch the potential contender he could well be here at the Australian Open over the course of his first round triumph against fellow countryman Jenson Brooksby. Fritz was ruthless whenever he was given a chance, successfully converting six break points from seven. His all-round game was good and there was room for improvement as well.
Whilst Cristian Garin was also a winner in just three sets across the first round, he dropped double the games that Fritz did. The USA star represents a significant step up in class compared to Garin’s first-round opponent and he has his work cut out for him.
Fritz is the stronger all-round player and that should prove evident over the course of this match. It would be no surprise to see Fritz not only win, but win comprehensively and without dropping a set.
Taylor Fritz vs Cristian Garin Tip: Taylor Fritz to win 3-0
