My Prediction
Misolic in straight sets.If I had to compare this upcoming Tiriac Open Quarterfinal matchup between Flavio Cobolli and Filip Misolic to a culinary experience, think of it as a well-done steak (Cobolli) against an unexpected spice kick from a hot sauce (Misolic). It's either you're into that rich, traditional tennis play or you are looking for a little zest, a little controversy, a sort of a wild card that leaves a lingering taste.
Cobolli, or as I like to call him "the Sizzling Steak", has a favorable standing as the 3rd seed in the tournament, although his recent performance has been as a roller-coaster – as exciting as a cheese sandwich. He had a sweet victory against Gasquet but has lost a couple of his recent matches. It's like he had left his steak on the grill for too long until it became overcooked. Some nerves there, Flavio?
Misolic, our "Hot Sauce", though unseeded, seems to be leaving no room for love on his side of the court. He's been slinging those tennis balls like a chef whipping up a spicy dish, and boy, has he been serving them hot! Four solid victories in a row, and did we mention, all straight sets?
People usually bet on the steak, because let’s face it, steak is safe - but some like a little hot sauce on their steak. So, while the safe money might be on Cobolli, there's more than a hint of heat coming from Misolic's end of the court.
Albert’s Prediction: Misolic in straight sets.
