Taylor Fritz vs Felix Auger-Aliassime prediction

Fritz's form over the past few months make him the favorite entering the match. However, Auger-Aliassime is capable of producing some terrific tennis when at his best, and he should not be written off.

Fritz has a pretty effective serve and loves to play aggressively with his hitting abilities.The 27-year-old's stamina and on-court movement will also come in handy, not to forget his mentality, which seems to have improved over the past year.

Auger-Aliassime also possesses a very strong serve, which was evident in the 13 aces he served against Coric. While the Canadian is also a very aggressive player, he can also be prone to unforced errors.

Eventually, the match could very well come down to composure and Fritz seems to have the edge in that department. Hence, there is a good chance of him registering his third win over Felix Auger-Aliassime.
