Querrey - Berankis

Experienced 30-year-old and very stable J. Thompson (ranked 37th in the ATP) meets with the young 21-year-old American Quinn. A true hard-court specialist and a strong competitor, Australian Thompson is a well-known face in this tournament, having participated in it every year since 2018. While he may not have made it to the semifinals in this tournament, he is always a dangerous opponent for any serious tennis player, and is certainly too much for the young American to handle. Although Quinn has a good record of 19 wins and 9 losses on hard courts this season, his positive statistics only include challenger tournaments, and he has no chance against a strong opponent. In my opinion, the odds are quite high, as Thompson is coming off a successful tournament in Miami, while the young American was humiliated in the same tournament by the 129th ranked Schoolkate with a score of 6-0, 6-2. As this is the first match between these two players in this tournament, we should trust the experience and significantly better skills of Thompson from Peru.
