Arthur Cazaux vs Jacob Fearnley Prediction

This has all the makings of being a really exciting battle between two incredibly talented young players. Arthur Cazaux demonstrated in the first round just why he is so highly thought of as he knocked out seeded opposition in Sebastian Baez in a five-set marathon. It would be no surprise if this turned out to be another battle that winds up going the distance.

Jacob Fearnley took full advantage of Nick Kyrgios’ injury troubles to dispatch the popular Aussie and silence the home crowd, which must have done wonders for his confidence going forward. He’ll be able to match Cazaux for large parts of this game, but as was the case in the Frenchman’s first game, things are likely to swing the longer it goes on.

The outcome could go either way here, but it would be a surprise if either of these two players ended up winning without dropping at least one set. With that in mind, there is value in backing a second consecutive five-set contest involving Cazaux.
