Taylor Fritz vs Stan Wawrinka – Match Predictions
Contents
With both players setting their sights on a third round spot, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Stan Wawrinka to Win at Least One Set
Taylor Fritz has been consistent over the past couple of months. The American has reached at least the quarter-final in all of the last five tournaments he featured in, with three semi-final appearances and one title. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that Fritz is the favourite today. It’s worth mentioning that Taylor Fritz is 0 for 2 against Stan Wawrinka. Granted, the last time these players met was in 2018, and a lot has changed since then. However, we believe the Swiss player will not go down in straight sets.
Over 22.5 Total Games
Just like Fritz, Stan Wawrinka has had a fairly decent run of results lately. The 38 year old has six wins in his last eight singles matches; this is about as many wins as Taylor Fritz has had in his last eight singles matches. On that note, we don’t expect this to be a one-sided contest, and we think this match can go all the way to three sets. All things considered, we are taking the over 22.5 games option.
Taylor Fritz vs Stan Wawrinka Preview
Our Taylor Fritz vs Stan Wawrinka predictions have been sorted. Let’s see how these players have fared in recent weeks.
Taylor Fritz
Being a seeded player, Taylor Fritz did not feature in the first round of this tournament. The American is coming off back-to-back quarter-final berths at the Indian Wells and Miami Opens, and has reached at least the fourth round of the last five events he featured in. That said, it’ll be interesting to see how far Fritz will go in this tournament.
Stan Wawrinka
Unlike his opponent, Stan Wawrinka played in the round of 16, where he met Tallon Griekspoor. After surrendering the first set, the Swiss player had to claw his way back into the match, ultimately winning in three sets. Interestingly, Wawrinka has two wins in as many clashes with Taylor Fritz, and will look to maintain maintain a perfect record against the American here.
Taylor Fritz vs Stan Wawrinka Head to Head
This will be the third encounter between these players. Stan Wawrinka currently leads the head-to-head, having won both of their previous meetings. It’s fair to point out that these players will meet for the first time on a clay court today. In fact, they haven’t squared off against each other in over four years.
