THE PREDICTION
Both world number 10 Grigor Dimitrov and number 13 Taylor Fritz are yet to drop a set this fortnight in Rome, although Fritz has endure the much tougher tests. The 26-year-old reached the semi-finals of the Madrid Open two weeks ago to suggest he may be coming into form just in time to be a factor on clay, as one of the more complete all-court threats on tour, and a straight-sets victory over Sebastian Korda is a big statement ahead of this likely thriller.
32-year-old Dimitrov beat Terence Atmane in straight sets to maintain a steady course but whilst the Bulgarian’s top level is insatiable on any surface he would certainly prefer to face Fritz on something faster. Notably, Dimitrov came back from a set down to beat Fritz to the Geneva Open final this time last season but the American won their first of two career encounters at the 2019 Madrid Open, also on clay, in straight sets to earn at least a set in each edition of their 1-1 record. Back the American to maintain that streak here to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: TAYLOR FRITZ TO WIN A SET
