- Honestly, I’m not surprised to see Alex De Minaur going through a difficult period. Since Wimbledon, he has had early exits and seems completely impervious to pressure in crucial moments.
- But on the other side, this is no ordinary opponent. Arthur Fils is having the inverse summer and is showing impressive mental toughness when the match goes to a decisive set. On paper, he has all the arguments to take control of this match: more powerful serve, better momentum, and above all, this ability to raise his level in important moments.
- Of course, De Minaur leads their head-to-head 2-1 and beat him quite clearly in Rotterdam earlier this year. But between the player who has been losing the ends of sets for a month and the one who has been winning them, I choose the momentum.
- I see him capable of taking the initiative in the rallies, gradually wearing down De Minaur and making him crack mentally. So I’m betting 1u on Arthur Fils at 1.72. Good matches to all ♥️
