Tommy Paul in straight sets.
Alright, let's dissect this clay court dance between Tommy "The Smasher" Paul and Cristian "The Clay Whisperer" Garin. Now a quick history lesson tells us that the last time these two locked horns, Garin emerged the victor. But that's just one snapshot from years gone by. Tommy has been serving up a delightful feast of wins lately, not that spotless though, as there was that slight hiccup against Cerundolo.
Meanwhile, Cristian appears to be on a bit more of love rollercoaster, he's had his moments of glory, but also tasted defeat on more than one occasion. In the immortal words of that gloomy singer-songwriter, he's had his share of heartache.
And the tournament sees Tommy as the top dog. Numero uno. The big cheese. King of the hill. Achieving that numero uno status isn't like winning a goldfish at the local fair. It's a testament to Tommy's form and forehands.
So, if you're looking to bet the farm, I'd say take a good hard look at Tommy Paul. He's in form, he's the tournament darling, and he won't feel the need for revenge. But remember, in this glorious game of tennis, it's all about who can keep the love at bay.
Albert's Prediction: Tommy Paul in straight sets.
