JAKUB MENSIK VS FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME PREDICTION

Jakub Mensik only took one game from Felix Auger-Aliassime the last time these two clashed before retiring hurt, albeit that was on the clay court of Madrid. Although this match takes place on the outdoor hard court, Auger-Aliassime’s dominance is likely to continue. The Canadian is well-suited to conditions and has shown his pedigree in this tournament.

Auger-Aliassime is likely to fly out of the traps and Mensik will struggle to keep up across the contest, such is the dynamic style of his opponent. Backing Auger-Aliassime to get the job done here in straight sets appears a shrewd move.

JAKUB MENSIK VS FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME TIP: FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME TO WIN 3-0
