Playing styles and prediction
Dzumhur has had an inconsistent season but has produced some impressive performances including his valiant effort against Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros. Now, Dzumhur will aim to finish the season strong as he puts pressure on the world’s top 50.
Fearnley will aim to be aggressive on serve while ensuring he limits his double faults. Meanwhile Dzumhur will be consistent on return and will look to use depth in order to create the shorter ball from Fearnley. This will be a tough test for Fearnley but the Brit’s attacking qualities should ensure that he wins this match and advances to the second round.
Prediction: Fearnley in three sets.
