Francisco Cerundolo vs Daniel Evans – Match Predictions
Contents
Daniel Evans to Win
Both players have been in good form on the clay court this season, with Cerundolo producing his best result on this surface so far by reaching the quarterfinals in his debut appearance at the Barcelona Open. On the other hand, the British ace made little work of Karen Khachanov in the previous round and will take confidence from his straight-sets victory over Cerundolo in the French Open. Expect another victory for Evans as he continues to give an improved account of his ability on the clay court.
2-0 to Daniel Evans
Evans is not known for his success on clay but has surprised many by securing quarterfinal runs in Barcelona and Marrakech Open. He will be put to test by Cerundolo and with odds against him, we are backing him. The Argentine made Casper Ruud pay for his mistakes but it was Evans’ triumph over Khachanov that impressed more. Evans saved all five of his breakpoints against the Russian and he will take credence from this. The British ace earned a straight-set victory over Cerundolo in last the French Open and should follow suit in their Barcelona Open meeting as well.
Francisco Cerundolo vs Daniel Evans Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in this tournament.
Francisco Cerundolo
Although he struggled during the South American clay swing earlier this year, losing to underdogs such as Bernabe Zapata Miralles and Tomas Martin Etcheverry, his performance at ATP Barcelona is his best result on clay this year and his career-best performance in the European clay swing.
Cerundolo reached the quarterfinals of ATP Barcelona on his debut appearance after defeating third-seeded Casper Ruud in straight sets. He showed great resilience in the first set, coming back from a 2-5 deficit and saving consecutive set points.
Daniel Evans
Dan Evans has been performing well during the clay court swing despite it not being his preferred surface. He managed to secure his first quarterfinal result of the 2023 season in Marrakech and has continued his impressive run on clay by defeating Karen Khachanov to advance to the quarterfinals of the ATP 500 event in Barcelona.
Evans has a perfect record of 2-0 in quarterfinal matches at ATP clay court events, having defeated David Goffin at the Monte Carlo Masters in 2021 and Andrea Vavassori in Marrakech earlier this month.
