Our Vit Kopriva vs Taylor Fritz Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Taylor Fritz cruises through to a convincing win 6-4, 6-3, 6-4
Reason: Fritz is a streaky player. He’s the kind of player who needs to get hot first before he can deal serious damage to the field. Fritz has never played Kopriva before, but I am confident he has more quality than his Czech opponent. Fritz is only converting 23.7 percent of his break-point opportunities. Despite this low break-point conversion rate, Fritz should be in good shape because he’s still winning 79.2 percent of his first balls and averaging 16.2 aces per game. Kopriva is not a strong server, winning only 68.5 percent of his first serves and averaging 6.2 aces per game. This opens the door for Fritz to break Kopriva’s serves early and steadily dismantle him as the match progresses.
