FRANCISCO CERUNDOLO VS TOMMY PAUL PREDICTION
World number 14 Tommy Paul and number 27 Francisco Cerundolo will meet for the fifth time since the start of last season, and a sixth overall, with Cerundolo’s three-set victory at the Madrid Masters in April taking a 3-2 lead in a tight head-to-head.
That was their first clash on grass but the pair have seen sets go both ways in all five of their previous encounters to suggest this could go all the way on Saturday, particularly as Cerundolo is the more comfortably clay-courter whilst Paul is the more in form.
Neither has dropped a set so far this week, with Paul ousting two out-of-form clay specialists in Pedro Cachin and Fabio Fognini whilst Cerundolo has stopped Yannick Hanfmann and qualifier Flip Misolic.
Consider a one-off on this match to see five sets but Tommy Paul reached the semi-finals of the Italian Open two weeks ago to bring some excellent momentum into the tie and backing him to win at least two sets looks the most suitably cautious way to avoid a result.
FRANCISCO CERUNDOLO VS TOMMY PAUL TIP: TOMMY PAUL TO WIN TWO SETS
