Taylor Fritz will be the favourite in the upcoming quarter final clash Taylor Fritz vs Aljaz Bedene at the Sardegna Open 2021.

It will be a tight contest as both players look for winners on their first serve. Fritz has a better record on the 2nd serve as well as compared to Bedene, which can be a crucial match turner. Bedene had to win his first game in 3 sets and the second one also went into the 7th game in his 2nd set, which can be a tiring factor for the Slovakian.

Fritz has been well rested, given that he had a first round-bye and won in straight sets in the previous game. Nevertheless, it will be a tightly-contested game.

Prediction: Taylor Fritz to win in 3 sets.
