My Prediction
Cerundolo in 3 sets.Taking a gander at this matchup between Francisco Cerundolo and Facundo Diaz Acosta is like watching two kangaroos in a boxing fight, isn't it? Entertaining, sure, but a little unpredictable, hence the fun of it.
Now onto the crux of it: Our dear friend Cerundolo is favored here, and it's easy to see why. He's coming in strong as the 31st seed, while Acosta, no offense to the chap, is unseeded. Plus, Cerundolo cleaned up his last match in straight sets. A nice workout, wouldn't you say? But let's not disregard Acosta entirely. The bloke's been up and down, sure, but his win against Bergs shows he has a bit of fight in him.
But here comes the kicker, Melbourne Park. A hard surface bit, the ball bouncing high, just like a pesky mosquito you can't swat. In this game of bizarre metaphors that I'm doling out like candies, this is right up Cerundolo's alley, who excels at applying different types of spin.
So, if I were a betting man, but don't worry, I'm not (my addiction is restricted to off-brand fruit gummies), I'd be putting a friendly wager on Cerundolo walking away with this one.
Albert’s Prediction: Cerundolo in 3 sets.
