My Prediction
Paul in 3 setsYou won't believe who's about to hit the clay here, we've got the unseeded Roberto Bautista Agut, puffing his chest against the resolved Tommy Paul, who has an 11 on his back but a much higher number in our hearts.
Now, let's assess their track record. History, my dear friends, tends to repeat itself. In their last two confrontations, Tommy Paul, in a show of love...or cleverly hiding hate, has taken Agut down a peg, leaving him to bite the clay.
Recently though, both players have shown a little inconsistency in their games. Bautista Agut seems to have been doing a breathtaking impersonation of a roller coaster, up and down, up and down. His latest matches have been a mixed bag of victories and loses. Paul, on the other hand, has experienced some minor setbacks, but he has also shown he can shine on his day, like an uncut diamond in a pile of coal.
Based on past performances and Tommy's superior seeding, one could wager the match to lean towards the American. That being said, this is no walk in the park or casual picnic. We could expect a stumble or two from Tommy before he presumably ties those laces and skips over the finish line.
Albert's Prediction: Paul in 3 sets
