My Prediction
Felix Auger-Aliassime in 3 setsAh, tennis, a sport as unpredictable as my ex's mood swings, and let's have a look at this delightful match-up we have today between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Justin Engel. Auger-Aliassime, what a mouthful, right? The lad's practically a top 10 hit on the billboard chart of tennis pros, occupying the number 4 spot at the Stuttgart Open.
Recently, Felix’s performance could be compared to a roller coaster ride with more lows than highs. The chap's won two out of his last five games and seems to be displaying all the whimsy of a rabbit on two legs. However, one of those wins was against Mpetshi Perricard G., which is a formidable name in anybody's book.
Then we have Engel, who, if you wrote a check for his successes, it wouldn't bounce. The lad's won three of his last five matches, and he's out here making his opponents look like they're swinging at butterflies. Regardless of all that, tournament seeds rarely make errors and Engel is as unseeded as a tomato in a cheap sandwich.
With the opulence of past performance data we have here, it feels like Auger-Aliassime is destined to make Engel hit more net cords than a floundering fisherman. So, when you wipe away all the sweat and grunting, Auger-Aliassime should take the game, dropping a set to Engel, just to make it interesting.
Albert’s Prediction: Felix Auger-Aliassime in 3 sets
