ATP Madrid Day 3 Predictions
Daniel Altmaier vs Arthur Fils
Just a year ago, Arthur Fils was unable to make it through the qualifying round at the Madrid Masters. This time he starts with a seeding. His performance hasn’t been as great this year as the last one though, failing to make a mark at any of the many tournaments he has played this year, losing to opponents with much higher rankings. Though he reached his career high ranking a couple of days back, he is definitely not where he wants to be with his game right now. Daniel Altmaier meanwhile hasn’t managed to do very well on tour as well this season, struggling to string together two straight wins. The pair met a week back at the Barcelona Open, where Fils clinched a three-setter. Back him to do it again.
Prediction: Fils in 3
