Machac in straight sets. Now, remember, kids.. no gambling with your lunch money!
So, let's get down to brass tacks. Tomas Machac, the 8th seed in the tournament, has a few recent wins under his belt, and he's been serving up victories like pancakes at an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. Stacking to that, his loss to Shapovalov doesn't tell the whole story - he's a strong player with a racket.
On the other side of the net, we've got Daniel Altmaier. Dear Daniel is a card - unseeded and a bit of a wild ride when it comes to recent game play. Sure, he’s shown some pluckiness, pulling a victory out of the hat against Kecmanovic, but his inconsistency is as evident as a tomato in a fruit salad.
Given all these, I'd bet my last potato chip that Machac is going to sweep this matchup. He has gotten the upper hand in the saloon showdown against some strong opponents recently, and with him being the favored one, it’s no rocket science to see why the scales tilt in his direction. The gladiator arena that is Abierto Mexicano Telcel won't faze him a bit.
Albert's Prediction: Machac in straight sets. Now, remember, kids.. no gambling with your lunch money!
