Dominic Thiem vs Pedro Cachin – Match Predictions
Contents
Pedro Cachin to Win
Roll back a couple of years and it would not even be a debate about who would win this duel. Thiem would have been an overwhelming favourite to progress to the second round. While Cachin has improved, a dramatic let-off has been seen in the Austrian ace’s performances. After a losing record in 2022, Thiem has improved in 2023 with an 11-9 win-loss record on clay court. Cachin edges him out with a 15-12 record. The fact the Argentine has beaten him on clay, makes us back him to add to his positive H2H record against Thiem.
Over 37.5 Games
Cachin’s straight-set victory over Thiem in Marbella last year revealed there is little to differentiate them. The Austrian was broken thrice in the duel and also managed to break Cachin’s serve once. Their current win-loss record on clay of 11-9 and 15-12, respectively shows they are still at a similar level. With little to separate them based on their performances, we expect a long encounter. They will be pushing each other to the hilt, exchanging blows, as they did in their previous meeting. Based on this, we are backing a long night on the court for them as Over 37.5 Games are played at least to decide
Dominic Thiem vs Pedro Cachin Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in the French Open.
Dominic Thiem
Thiem is a seasoned contender in Grand Slam tournaments but has fallen on hard times due to injury and loss of form. He will be kick-starting his French Open challenge with a desire to showcase his skills on the clay courts. Despite encountering formidable opponents like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the past, Thiem claimed his first major title at the US Open in 2020. With the Spaniard missing out on the current edition, he would have fancied his chances but does not have the winning momentum to be considered a force to be reckoned with.
Pedro Cachin
The Argentine ace has shown impressive progress and resilience in his recent performances. With notable victories and competitive matches against strong opponents including Gael Monfils, Jan-Lennard Struff and Frances Tiafoe, Cachin has demonstrated his potential on the tour. Despite being 28, he is relatively new to the Grand Slam stage but has already shown promise with victories in his debut campaigns at the French Open and the US Open. As he steps onto the court against Thiem, Cachin will be aiming to make a mark and continue his upward trajectory in the tennis world.
Dominic Thiem vs Pedro Cachin Head to Head
This is the second meeting between Thiem and Pedro Cachin on the ATP tour. The Argentine got the better of Thiem in Marbella last year and the Austrian ace would be gunning to get revenge for his straight-sets defeat.
