THE PREDICTION
21-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime reached a career-high 10th in the ATP world rankings last November and the Canadian should find himself breaking that hallowed number sooner rather than later in 2022. Both he and second option Denis Shapovalov have some amends to make after missing the Davis Cup Finals last year, leaving Vasek Pospisil and co. far too much to do. Team Canada will probably be 1-0 up by the time Auger-Aliassime takes on Taylor Fritz for a first time but this will be a hard-fought decider if the world number 23 (his career best ranking) can start 2022 how he left 2021. 24-year-old Fritz ended last season with a 12-4 record from October onwards, beating both Matteo Berrettini and Alexander Zverev at Indian Wells and Andrey Rublev for three top 10 wins.
This should be a fascinating battle that Fritz may find an extra gear for with the USA likely down in the tie, so taking the American to win at least a set seems the best option in avoiding picking an outright winner.
