THE PREDICTION
World number 10 Taylor Fritz came back from a set down to Yoshihito Nishioka on Monday in an edgy opener to his Vienna Open campaign but the result extended his winning streak to six matches since claiming the fourth ATP title of his career at the Japan Open earlier this month. The 24-year-old is still vying for one of the remaining ATP Finals places after claiming his first Masters title at Indian Wells this year, by far his best on tour, and that will make him all the more competitive over the last few tournaments. World number 19 Denis Shapovalov lost to Fritz in three tight sets in the semi-finals of the Japan Open and since then he has fallen to Alex de Minaur at the Stockholm Open. The 23-year-old leads Fritz 4-2 in their head-to-head record but the American has won two of their last thee encounters since the start of 2021. Backing Fritz to take at least a set here looks the suitably cautious move, with both of his wins coming in three sets, but you could add at least a tiebreak in the match considering four of their six previous meetings have seen at least one.
