🔍 Match Breakdown

Stylistically, this is a duel between ADF’s controlled aggression and Cazaux’s raw, power-driven attack. The Spaniard’s inside-out forehand and quick backhand redirects thrive on indoor surfaces when his legs are fresh, while Cazaux will look to shorten rallies and attack with his forehand off quick exchanges.

ADF’s edge lies in return games: he’s been among the most efficient this season at generating break opportunities, while Cazaux often lives on tight-set holds and tiebreaks — as seen in his double-TB opener. Expect ADF to test the Frenchman’s second serve early and often.

Fatigue is the wildcard. After Basel and another three-setter in R1, Davidovich’s legs could slow in longer rallies. If Cazaux can extend games, draw errors, and use the crowd’s energy in crunch moments, this becomes a live battle.

🔮 Prediction

Expect a lively, high-intensity encounter with momentum shifts. ADF’s balance between offense and defense — plus his superior experience in Masters pressure points — should give him the edge, but the Frenchman’s freshness and home backing make this a potential thriller.

Pick: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in three sets. Cazaux’s power and crowd support may steal a set, yet ADF’s superior consistency and return patterns should eventually pull him through.
