Zachary Svajda vs Mattia Bellucci prediction
Mattia Bellucci was a first-round exit at the Canadian Open, the last big ATP event leading into Cincinnati. The Italian was wasteful with break points, converting just one from six and this was a key factor in his demise, having ultimately lost 7-5, 6-3 to Sebastian Baez. However, Zachary Svajda was a tougher out, getting to the second round before taking eventual quarter-finalist Arthur Fils to a third set.
Despite him running out of gas in the third set, based on how Svajda performed against Fils it bodes well for the young America as this hard court season rolls on. He’ll also have the crowd firmly on his side during this match which should give him that extra boost both physically and mentally. Therefore, consider backing Svajda to overcome Bellucci.
