My Prediction
Cerundolo in 3 sets.Should we pull out the popcorn for this Juan Manuel Cerundolo vs David Goffin clash? Well, hope your pockets are deep and your patience thicker because this bout promises to glue us to the screen more than a rerun of the 2005 Wimbledon final.
Let's dissect. Goffin, with his princely seed of number 6 (did I miss the coronation?), hasn't been playing as though the court is his kingdom. In fact, it's been more like a jester's paradise. He has been juggling his recent games with more losses than wins -- with Cerundolo's brother even outclassing him in April, ouch!
Looking at Cerundolo, that feisty unseeded contender, whilst he's had his fair share of floor kissing as well, his recent Jaime Lannister moment against Struff could suggest a rise in momentum (Cue Rains of Castamere). Plus, if blood truly is thicker than water, one could froth at the idea of Juan avenging his brother's victory against Goffin.
To cut to the chase, I'd safely place my bet on Cerundolo's hunger outdoing Goffin's royal blues on the court. This clash might go the full Monty, given the decent battle prowess demonstrated by both, and for the sake of suspense, let's just say:
Albert’s Prediction: Cerundolo in 3 sets.
