Playing styles and prediction

Sandgren has had another inconsistent season with not many wins being produced as his ranking continues to fall. However the American still produces a big game to trouble any world class player and on his day can cause a shock on the big occasions.

As the end of the season approaches Norrie needs to continue his consistent aggression in defensive situations. The Brit’s clinical approach on break points matched with his consistent first serves sees him the comfortable favourite here.

Prediction: Norrie in straight sets.
