THE PREDICTION
20-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime looked solid in the round of 16 of the Barcelona Open against fellow Canadian Denis Shapovalov but the straight-sets victory was more about the poor performance of his foe. The world number 20 is has looked good this week nonetheless and overcame a strong challenge from rising star Lorenzo Musetti in the second round to show clay-court progress under his new coach Toni Nadal. Auger-Aliassime will face the player to beat on clay right now in Monte-Carlo Open champion Stefanos Tsitsipas, who beat Alex de Minaur in a tough straight-sets victory to continue a perfect record from last week’s Masters event. The 22-year-old has not dropped a set on clay yet this season on what is clearly his best surface and Auger-Aliassime will likely struggle to break the Greek’s serve enough to win a set here. Both players are always worth a watch and together they make for enthralling matches but Tsitsipas has won their last three encounters and should take this first meeting on clay in two.
