Diego Schwartzman vs Felix Auger-Aliassime: Match Prediction

The recent stats favour Diego Schwartzman over Felix Auger-Aliassime. Schwartzman has just shifted gears 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 Auger-Aliassime will be looking to change that, it won’t be facile for him to do so.
