My Prediction
Landaluce in 3 sets.Ah, what a scintillating match-up we have here in the Swiss Open, folks! Ha, just kidding, I wouldn't call it scintillating. We've got Martin Landaluce, who's as unseeded as an overripe watermelon, squaring up against David Goffin. Now Goffin, bless his heart, he's been getting handed more losses lately than I got on my high school debate team. Having won only two out of his last five matches, Goffin seems to be treating victories like I treat salad: Something to be barely indulged in.
On the other side of the net, we have Martin Landaluce. He may be unseeded, but that only seems to have made him angry. He's on a 60-40 win-loss rate which in my opinion, is far batter than Goffin who seem to prefer a nice even 50-50. What's life without a bit of risks, right? Goffin?
Now Goffin, he's got a seed of 6 to his name. Being the 6th means you're almost halfway to 1. But then again, being almost halfway means, well, you're not halfway yet, now are you? It's like when your folks say you're almost an adult kid, it means you're still a kid. Fun fact - sixth rhymes with sixth, do with that information what you wish.
Anyway, cough, back to tennis. After considering all the unspoken factors that we, for some mysterious reason, aren't allowed to mention, my prediction lies with Landaluce. He seems to be going through a stronger phase, as solid as a stale baguette, compared to Goffin, who's streak is a bit more wobbly, like my aunt's Yorkshire pudding.
Well, then...let's roll out and watch the unseeded torero try to dominate the slightly slipping sixth seed.
Albert's Prediction: Landaluce in 3 sets.
