My Prediction
Fritz in 3 sets.Now, if you've been sleeping under a rock and somehow missed the fact that we've got Taylor Fritz and Felix Auger-Aliassime about to create some fireworks in the Stuttgart Open Semifinal, let me make some introductions.
On our left, we've got Fritz, dangling at number 2 seed. Strutting like the cat who got the cream with a nice winning streak. He ran Fucsovics and Halys to the ground, both matches ending in straight sets of love. The guy is like a human freight train, refusing to stop.
On the other side of the net, we find Auger-Aliassime on the 4th seed. Felix isn't lagging far behind either. He's served Engel and Perricard the taste of defeat recently, both in straight sets with no love lost. But the lad has also suffered a few bruises from Arnaldi and Rublev, who managed to trip him up.
It's going to be a clash of the titans with Fritz's experience and recent returns against Auger-Aliassime's never-say-die persistence and performance. Considering all the fun elements, I'm cautiously leaning towards Fritz. It's going to be close, and not without a struggle.
Albert’s Prediction: Fritz in 3 sets.
