Bernard Tomic vs Alexis Galarneau prediction
Bernard Tomic has had a busy season so far. Apart from promising results on the Challenger Circuit, he also secured a title-winning run in the ITF M25 in Chennai and a runner-up finish in the ITF M25 in Xalapa. The Australian is known for his heavy serve and flat groundstrokes off both wings.
Galarneau, meanwhile, came close to capturing his second title on the Challenger circuit, but couldn't make a difference in the finals. The Canadian won 76.0% of his first serve points and hardly put a foot wrong against Pannu in the last match. He likes to play an offensive brand of tennis and can find a winner from anywhere on the court.
Tomic has reached the quarterfinals in seven Challenger series events this year but passed this hurdle only once so far. Considering his ranking superiority and steady all-around game, the Australian will be a favorite to come out on top. If he begins well and keeps his focus throughout, he should be able to solve this riddle and continue his run in the Fairfield Challenger.
Pick: Tomic to win in three sets.
