Last year, Fritz was 5-3 on clay, including a run to the quarterfinals at Monte Carlo. His win over Tsitsipas was Fritz’s first ever against a top-10 player. Can he pull off that feat in successive matches?
Rublev has won three of his 12 ATP titles on clay surfaces. His focus tends to come and go during matches, and this is where the in-form Fritz, who has the more potent service game of the two players, can take advantage to pull off the upset.
Rublev vs Fritz Pick: Taylor Fritz (+100); Fritz 2-1 (+360).
