Roman Safiullin vs Fabio Fognini Prediction: the Russian gets a solid win

Prediction for the ATP US Chenju match which will take place on September 18. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Before the US Open, Roman played a number of hardcourt tournaments and even won the Challenger in Cary, in the final of which he beat Italian Bellucci. In New York, Roman won a convincing three set victory over American Forbes, but already in the second round he lost in three sets to Italian Arnaldi, the 33rd ranked player in the world. The match lasted just over two hours and Roman managed to win only 10 games in three sets.

Fabio was not ready for the tournament in New York, the impression was that the Italian came to the Major for the prize money, which probably covered the costs associated with flights and accommodation. In the first round of the Grand Slam in New York, Fabio lost to Czech Mahach in three sets. It should be noted that before the Grand Slam the Italian played exclusively on dirt courts in Umag, Gstaad and San Marino.

Safiullin is not having his best season, but the Russian at least has some practice on hard courts, while Fognini, not only is not young anymore, but also plays on his favorite dirt courts. In this situation, in this pairing we choose in favor of the younger and more promising Roman, we believe that Safiullin can beat the veteran Italian in two sets.
