Maxime Cressy vs Stan Wawrinka – Match Predictions
Contents
Stan Wawrinka to Win
Despite having a higher ranking than the Swiss ace, Cressy is a ranked outsider in this duel. The American is on a six-match losing streak and it looks unlikely to end against the ageing Wawrinka. While not being a spring chicken, Wawrinka’s all-around playing style better suits the rigours of clay court matches than Cressy’s serve-and-volley approach. Based on this, we expect their first-ever meeting to go in favour of Wawrinka.
2-0 to Stan Wawrinka
Wawrinka has lost three of his last four matches. However, after withdrawing Miami Open following his Round of 16 ousting in Indian Wells, will be confident in his abilities. Cressy has been on a losing spree, triumphing just twice in his last eight matches. He has only won one set in his last four matches and his limited abilities will be tested on the clay court. Given their respective strong suits, we are backing a 2-0 victory for the Swiss ace.
Maxime Cressy vs Stan Wawrinka Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in this tournament.
Maxime Cressy
The 25-year-old impressed in ATP Montpellier, going all the way to the finals of the event. He went straight into Jannik Sinner and lost in straight sets. He has not been the same since, getting first-round victories in Rotterdam and Marseille but failing to go beyond. Since then, Cressy has lost at the first hurdle in five successive tournaments and needs to get out of his rut.
Stan Wawrinka
At 38, Stan Wawrinka is still mixing with young blood. He still has life in him, as his rivals in Rotterdam, Marseille and Indian Wells found. However, Wawrinka does not seem to have the legs to stay long in competitions. Victories in three sets have been followed by swift ousting from the said competition, highlighting that he can win the game in mind but putting it into effect is taking its toll.
