THE PREDICTION
This should be a fascinating match between two players at the peak of their powers and it could be another long-haul match for 12th seed Fabio Fognini after his four-hour slog with Jordan Thompson. The Aussie was exactly the kind of battler that can get Fognini’s gears grinding and the Italian grazed his knuckles punching his racket on numerous occasions in that frustrating win, but the victory could set him up for another here. Guido Pella will not go away quietly but Fognini just shades this third-round match with his fires still burning.
