Fritz and Mannarino met last season. The match took place in Acapulco and ended with a convincing win for the American in two sets. We expect the upcoming match to be played in Taylor’s favour as well and he will once again beat the Frenchman in two sets.
Fritz and Mannarino have previously met three times in their careers and only once has the match gone to the top. We believe that this match, like last year in Acapulco, will not go beyond two sets. So we’re betting on a game-less total in this match.
Fritz defeated Emilio Gomez (6-4, 6-3) in the second round. Taylor overcame the Ecuadorian in two sets (6-4, 6-3), converted 11 aces, won 79% of first-serve balls and converted five break points.
It should be noted that the American also played well in Dallas last week. At that competition, Fritz managed to reach the semi-finals, where he lost to future champion Yibing Wu (7-6, 5-7, 4-6).
At the Australian Open at the start of the season, Fritz unexpectedly lost to Alexey Popyrin (7-6, 6-7, 4-6, 7-6, 2-6) in the second round. In the first round, he defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-4, 6-2, 5-7, 6-4).
Fritz has scored just one dry win in his previous seven bouts against left-handers.
Mannarino reached the quarter-finals thanks to a victory over J.J Wolf (7-5, 6-2). Adrian sensationally defeated the American in two sets. In that match, he hit nine aces, won 82% of first serves and converted three break points.
In the first round, Mannarino defeated Daniel Altmaier in three sets (4-6, 6-3, 6-4). This moves Adrian into the quarterfinals for the second tournament in a row. He did it in Dallas last week, before losing to Wu Yibing (3-6, 4-6).
Mannarino has distinguished himself with five wins in his last eight matches against the seeded players.
