Match prediction

The odds are stacked in favour of Fritz who has been serving exceptionally well in Turin. His serves have been clocked at 226 km/h alongside the steady groundstrokes. Fritz will be aiming to dominate the proceedings from the baseline and could use volleys to end long rallies. He will be aware of the demon’s speed when in form.

On the other side of the court, Minaur has not been at his best in Turin so far. With nothing to lose, the 25-year-old will be playing without any pressure. Minaur has been covering the court well but has not been efficient with his serve and has been committing unforced errors in crucial times.

Although Minaur holds a 5-2 record in their seven hardcourt meetings, this time Fritz could take control of the match. The American will need to engage in tactical play using sleek volleys against Minaur or could use his mighty groundstrokes to overpower the Australian.

Result: Fritz to win in three sets
