Fognini was delighted with his performance at the tournament in Cincinnati, where he beat Ramos-Vinolas and played on level terms with Rublev. Fabio was also off to a good start in Winston-Salem. Nevertheless, Draper’s results on the season inspire more confidence than those of Fognini, so we prefer Jack in this confrontation.
Draper’s last eight matches have ended in two sets. We expect the upcoming match to be no more than two sets.
Fognini started the tournament with a victory over Dusan Lajovic (7-5, 7-5). As expected, the match was not easy, but two sets were enough for Fabio.
Like his opponent, Fabio did not always play reliably on serve, but converted five break points. He had 14 in all.
In Cincinnati last week, Fognini got into the main draw as a lucky loser. After beating Albert Ramos-Vinolas (6-2, 6-3), he lost to Andrey Rublev (7-6, 6-7, 2-6).
Fognini has never won two consecutive matches on the hard court at the ATP main-set level this season.
Fognini has lost 4 times in his last 6 matches as an outsider.
Draper, meanwhile, moved up to 55th in the rankings after his recent success in Montreal.
At the Masters in Montreal, Jack reached the quarter-finals. His biggest surprise was a superb win against Stefanos Tsitsipas (7-5, 7-6).
Draper was stopped in the quarter-finals by eventual tournament winner Pablo Carreno-Busta (6-7, 1-6).
Notably, Jack failed to qualify in Atlanta. In Washington, after beating Stefan Kozlov (7-5, 6-2), he almost without a fight lost to Andrey Rublev (4-6. 2-6).
Draper has recorded 4 wins in his last 5 meetings with the top 100.
In 3 of Draper’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.89.
