Our Valentin Vacherot vs Alex De Minaur Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Valentin Vacherot stuns Alex De Minaur 6-3, 3-6, 7-6
Best Pick: Valentin Vacherot wins
I am rolling with the Monégasque, Vacherot, as he tries to make history by reaching the semifinals of his home tournament. Vacherot showed guts and exceptional ball striking in his win over the hard-hitting Hurkacz. He won 74 percent of his first serves and broke Hurcakz six times off the back of 36 return points. De Minaur is an elite returner, but if Vacherot replicates the same performance on Friday, the Aussie is doomed.
It’s also important to take into consideration that Vacherot will be playing in front of his home fans in Monaco, not to mention that De Minaur had gone 1-3 during the Sunshine Double season before posting two wins in Monte Carlo.
Our betting prediction for Valentin Vacherot vs. Alex De Minaur: Valentin Vacherot will win.
