Playing styles and prediction

Delbonis is currently on a nine match losing streak and hasn’t won a match on a non-clay court this season. The Argentinian’s unique service motion and overall ground-strokes can still cause problems and consistency will be the key for Norrie to succeed in this match.

The Brit couldn’t have hoped for an easier opening round match in a week that he needs to produce big results if he wants to make the ATP Finals in Turin. Norrie will need to remain consistent and ensure that his game is solid enough to force the errors from the Delbonis racket. This should be a comfortable opening round for Norrie ahead of a big week for the world number 14.

Prediction: Norrie in straight sets.
