Vit Kopriva vs Taylor Fritz prediction
Vit Kopriva was involved in an enthralling first round encounter which saw the Czech edge through against Jan-Lennard Struff in five sets. However, Kopriva deserves massive credit for the way he closed out the match, dominating the fifth set to win it 6-1, showing excellent composure and high fitness levels.
Taylor Fritz had to really work for his victory, winning a first set tie-break before dropping the second set to Valentin Royer. Although the USA star got his act together in the following two sets by winning both with just four games dropped, he’ll need to improve from the off later in the competition, assuming he gets through this match.
There is no reason for Fritz not to advance here. Complacency shouldn’t be a factor and the American boasts more strengths across his game than Kopriva. With that in mind, expect and back a comprehensive win for Fritz.
