Playing Styles and Prediction
Fognini is approaching the latter stages of his career and is currently having more success in doubles. The Italian will be encouraged by his performance against Andrey Rublev in Cincinnati but the fact remains that he hasn’t won back-to-back matches since Belgrade in April.
Draper will look to use his power to test Fognini’s defensive skillset while the Italian will remain patient and try to pick his spots as to when he can hit winners. This match will be about who can be more effective on serve and dictate play better from the baseline. So far this season that has been the Brit and the expectation is that will be the same in this match.
Prediction: Draper in three sets.
