Taylor Fritz vs Francisco Cerundolo prediction

Taylor Fritz meets Francisco Cerundolo for a third time in what should be a heavyweight tussle at the US Open.

The American has been in cruise control so far with routine straight sets wins, but this promises to be a step up in quality against the Argentine 24th seed.

Cerundolo took his frustrations out on his racquet before recovering to edge past Jan-Lennard Struff in five sets last time out and will be well aware he needs to be more consistent against steady-Eddy, Fritz.

The match-up is level at 1-1 with both previous matches played on clay, which has suited the South American more.

Fran definitely has the forehand to do damage, but former finalist Fritz quietly fancies is chances in this year’s draw and with the home fans behind him, we see the ninth seed progressing here on what is right up there with grass as his favoured surface.
