Martin Fucsovics vs Christian Garin: Preview

Cristian Garin
Cristian Garin

The Chilean has played 17 out of his 19 matches on the clay this season and has been enjoying his time on the clay. The 24-year-old appears to be home on the dirt and has also got good wins under his belt this season. After winning the title in Santiago, Garin also made semis of Madrid and Estoril. Moreover, he has also beaten big names Danill Medvedev, Felix Auger and Fernando Verdasco on the clay in 2021. With 11 wins in 17 matches on his preferred surface, he should make another deep run at Geneva this week. A real dark horse.

On the other hand, the Hungarian has visibly struggled on the clay this season. Although he had his moments on the hard courts, his ability has not been able to make an impact during the European, clay court swing. After first round exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid, Fucsovics could only manage to enter the second round in Rome last week, but was ousted by Dominic Thiem. His 1/3 win/loss record on clay is a testimony to his struggle.

Garin has displayed great skills and endurance playing on the clay this season. Having played bulk of his matches on the dirt, the 24-year-old will fancy his chances of progressing ahead in this tournament. The Hungarian might have his fleeting moments in this match, but getting over the line appears thin.

Match Prediction: Christian Garin should win in two sets.
