Daniel Evans vs Dusan Lajovic: Preview
Dan Evans has had a tipsy-turvy ride this season so far. He won the Murray River Open early on in the season but has struggled to get past the opening rounds since then.
He has just won one match in the 5 tournaments he played. He was stunned last week at the Sardegna Open as he lost in a high-quality encounter to rising star Lorenzo Musetti.
His opponent, Dusan Lajovic will want to make the most on his favored surface. In Miami, he bowed out to home star Frances Tiafoe after winning the first set.
He played alongside Alexander Bublik in Monte-Carlo to get some feel for the surface ahead of this first round match but lost against experienced Roger-Vasselin and Kontinen.
Daniel Evans vs Dusan Lajovic: Head-to-Head
This will be the first meeting between the two 30-year olds. The two players haven’t met before and hence the H2H stands deadlock at 0-0.
Daniel Evans vs Dusan Lajovic: Prediction
The two players have very similar games and are very closely ranked- Evans at 32 while Lajovic at 29. The Briton played a very exciting match against Musetti in Sardegna and even had 4 match points.
Lajovic will start his Clay season at Monte-Carlo and will look to start well on his favorite surface. His topspin will be very effective and how Evans handles it will determine the outcome of the match. Expect a close match with Lajovic cruising through.
Prediction: Lajovic to win in three sets.
