Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Dusan Lajovic: Preview

Felix has already taken leap strides forward on the ATP circuit in 2021. The young Canadian might have lost early in Washington and Tokyo, but that is unlikely to derail his progress during the final stages of the season. Felix made a resounding statement a few months ago on the grass courts of Halle by beating 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer in the early rounds. Thereafter, he also made semis in Germany, followed by a quarterfinal run at Wimbledon. On the hard courts too, the 21-year-old made the finals of Melbourne in the run up to the Australian Open. For the year till now, he has an 11/6 win/loss record on the surface.

On the other hand, Lajovic comes into this contest with a series of poor results under his belt. For the first seven months of the year, the Serb has dealt with several early round exits and that might continue to hinder his progress in this tournament as well. With six wins and as many losses on the hard courts for 2021, it is tough to see him creating any impact in Toronto this week.

These two have met only once on the ATP tour. Back in 2020, the Serb beat the Canadian in straight sets on the hard courts of the ATP Cup in Australia.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Dusan Lajovic: Prediction

On paper, the Canadian will come into this match as the favourite. That said, the Serb will draw on his experience to make matter tough for his younger opponent. If Felix can use his first serve to good effect and blast the forehand at every given opportunity, then it should be a straight set affair for the No.9 seed.

Match Prediction: Felix Auger-Aliassime should win in two sets.
