THE PREDICTION
27-year-old Sebastian Ofner will break the top 100 on tour for the first time after an excellent straight-sets victory over Sebastian Korda backed-up a brilliant opener over Maxime Cressy. The Austrian has matched his career-best Grand Slam record after reaching the third round at Wimbledon six years ago and in some serious style after dropping just one set in qualifying. Ofner makes up one half of this very surprising third round fixture after 36-year-old Fabio Fognini, a top clay-courter in his prime, has rolled back the years this week to stun 10th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jason Kubler without dropping a set. The Italian set a career-high ATP world ranking of ninth after winning the Monte-Carlo Masters in 2019 but he has been in a steady state of decline practically ever since. A brief renaissance in Rome saw wins over Andy Murray and Miomir Kecmanovic in front of adoring home fans and he will receive a similar backing on Friday as a cult hero around these parts.
This is the biggest match of Ofner’s career versus Fognini’s likely last swansong at this level and with so much on the line it is worth keeping well away from an accumulator. Otherwise, back Fognini to earn at least a set or take both to earn at least one of you can to leave the victor up to chance.
