Fritz in 4 sets. Hope the bookies are listening. Keep the change!
In the grand world of tennis, we have Taylor Fritz and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina squaring off at the Wimbledon Round of 32. An integral part of this battle includes which player can offer less loot if victorious. But we're not directly interested in that, are we?
Taking a look at their history, Fritz and Fokina have met on the court thrice this year. Fritz managed to turn tables twice, including the recent one played under the Wimbledon sun. Reticent as he might be, Fokina might be thinking, "To hell with love! I need more than love to get back at him!" The spark's clearly ignited, folks, albeit obliquely.
Fokina's recent record is commendable, with four victories out of his last five matches. But old habits die hard, right? Inevitably one of those old habits was Fritz, to whom he notoriously lost at the recent Wimbledon face-off. Taylor Fritz, with a rare display of gallantry, has pressed ahead to claim all his recent games, even after engaging in sweaty five-set battles. Analysis has never felt so sporty!
Among 128 competitors fighting with Wimbledon whites on, Fritz with his tennis prowess, is seeded as 5, a fairly high rank, but who's asking? Fokina isn’t far behind though, lying at 26. However, it's not just about how they’ve been ranked, but about how they play the game.
Now, for the love of tennis, let’s get to the point shall we? Albert’s Prediction: Fritz in 4 sets. Hope the bookies are listening. Keep the change!
