Diego Schwartzman

The top seeds of this tournament didn’t collapse. Fresh off his first title win of the year, Sascha is looking to back it up this week. On the other hand, Schwartzman has just notched his gears up to eleven this year. He has turned over a new leaf. By the looks of the past couple of months, the Argentine can’t be defeated easily. Even though such is the case, the German is confident. This will prove to be a thrilling tussle where Schwartzman has better odds to emerge victorious.

Match Prediction: Diego Schwartzman wins in 3 sets.
