Gabriel Diallo and James Duckworth clash in Kazakhstan in the RO16 of the Almaty Open. Who progresses, the Canadian or the Australian? Find out in our Gabriel Diallo vs James Duckworth match prediction below.

We're backing Gabriel Diallo, the overwhelming favorite here, to win. But what's most important is that we think he'll win in two sets. Already, Diallo beat Duckworth in straight sets in their only previous meeting. But even more telling is how the majority of Diallo’s recent wins and Duckworth’s recent losses have come.

Six of Diallo’s last seven three-set wins have come in straight sets, while three of Duckworth’s last four three-set losses have been in two sets. Also, if we're looking at form, we see that Diallo also edges Duckworth's performance in recent games.

Things have been rocky for Diallo, but he has still managed four wins in his last six singles, with the latest being his expected RO32 over Amir Omarkhanov. In contrast, Duckworth has now lost six of his last nine singles and eight of his last 13. Although he has since picked up form, winning three singles in a row, with the latest coming against Ugo Blanchet in the RO32.
