Taylor Fritz vs Joao Fonseca prediction
Perhaps rather fittingly, Joao Fonseca will now face Taylor Fritz in Eastbourne after the Brazilian became the youngster winner of a match at the event since the American top seed in 2015.
The 18-year-old also secured what was a first tour-level victory on grass with a superb 6-7 6-0 6-3 comeback win over Zizou Bergs.
This will be a first meeting between the pair and it’s sure to catch the eye as one of the match-ups of the week.
Fonseca has the forehand to do plenty of damage, but Fritz has the more consistent serve and is probably more efficient off both wings at present.
The American world number five is also a three-time champion in Eastbourne and recently lifted the fourth grass title of his career in Stuttgart.
Fritz has a 13-2 record at this tournament and it’s likely his greater experience will tell again.
