H2H: Alex de Minaur vs. Taylor Fritz - Prediction (23.10.2019)

Preview and players comparison.

Alex de Minaur’s dominant H2H record (3-0, 7-0 in sets) certainly gives him an advantage in this clash, but Taylor Fritz’s best tennis is very much capable of winning this matchup.t month.

Taylor Fritz made a sensational comeback from 4-0 down in the first set tiebreaker to register an impressive straight-set win over the in-form Alexander Zverev in the first round of ATP Basel, 7-6 6-4. The American youngster needs one more win to defend the quarterfinal points that he earned in Basel last year — defeated Henri Laaksonen in the second round. However, it’s not going to be easy as he hasn’t won back-to-back matches since finishing as the runner-up in Los Cabos. Taylor Fritz delivered some excellent results midway through the season — champion in Eastbourne and runner-up in Atlanta and Los Cabos — and attained his career-high ranking of #25, but the recent poor run has seen him exit the top 30.

Alex de Minaur recovered from a break deficit in the second set and later saved two set points (on return) to secure a straight-set win over Hugo Dellien in his first-round match earlier this week, 6-1 7-5. This is the Australian’s first appearance in Basel. His most recent outing on indoor hardcourt came in the ATP Next Gen Finals in November 2018, where he won four consecutive matches before losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final.
