My Prediction
Tommy Paul in straight sets.Given the scenario, we've got Tommy Paul swinging his racket with all the flair of a guy ranked 10. Staying stoic, he's been displaying a rather impressive run, with a few minor slips to keep things interesting. Our wounded pigeon, Shapovalov, being the only one to sour his recent streak.
On the other, more unpredictable side of the court, you have Cameron Norrie. A condensed swirl of capability and disappointing inconsistencies. Sometimes he's all over the court like a balloon in a windstorm, other times, he's cooler than a cucumber in a snowstorm. But just remember folks, number 10 on Paul's back isn't just for show.
Given the long and short of it, Tommy Paul, the steady Eddie, versus Cameron, the wildcard Norrie, the scales are clearly tipping in one direction. And if past performances and payrolls are some kind of indicators - not that I'm saying they are - then Tommy's the top dog making a dash for the finish line.
So, without further dragging my feet, and because my producer is trying to wrap me up with all the subtlety of a Broadway flash mob, I’m predicting a pretty straightforward encounter on the cards. You don't need fancy footwork to figure this one out.
