THE PREDICTION
World number 14 Matteo Berrettini will start a promising North American hardcourt swing at the Canadian Open with a tough opener against Pablo Carreno Busta. 26-year-old Berrettini has reached the final of his last three tournaments on tour, winning back-to-back titles on grass at the Stuttgart Open and Queen’s on grass before losing out in three sets to Casper Ruud at the Gstaad Open on clay. The Italian reached the semi-finals at the US Open back in 2019 before defeat to eventual champion Rafael Nadal and he should be considered a serious contender in New York next month if he can stay fit, with his first Grand Slam final coming at Wimbledon last season. World number 23 Carreno Busta is a two-time US Open semi-finalist himself with a searing baseline game that excels across hardcourt and clay. The Spaniard has been intermittent all season, though, with deep runs and early exits galore.
Berrettini won their only previous meeting in straight sets in the round of 16 at the Australian Open back in January and backing him to take this potential thriller outright seems a sensible call as the pair transition from clay to hard.
