Felix Aliassime Vs Carlos Taberner Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?
Auger-Aliassime has struggled on claycourt over the last couple of years. Since 2020, he has a 6-11 record on the surface. Though he has proved his mettle on clay, he has been struggling for quite some time. Taberner, on the other hand, is a player who is more of a claycourt specialist and could pose a threat to Auger-Aliassime. The Spaniard has been completely dominant in Barcelona so far, not dropping more than three games in a match across his qualifying and main draw matches. If the Canadian doesn’t bring his best, he’ll find it difficult to get past this experienced claycourter.
Prediction: Aliassime to win in 3 sets.
