Alejandro Tabilo vs Cameron Norrie Prediction: Cameron Norrie favored by experience??

The ATP Auckland Knockout round reaches its quarterfinal stage and Alejandro Tabilo faces Cameron Norrie. Other players at this stage are Alexandre Muller, Taro Daniel, Roberto Carballes Baena, Ben Shelton, Arthur Fils, and Daniel Altmaier. This will be the first meeting between Alejandro Tabilo and Cameron Norrie.

Alejandro Tabilo is currently ranked 82nd on the ATP ranking, but his form has not gone unnoticed in the tennis world and there is a strong indication that he might climb up the ranking in the shortest time possible. Since his back-to-back defeats in the Peru Challenger and the Uruguay Challenger back in November last year, Alejandro Tabilo has been in unstoppable form. Since then, he has won his last 10 matches in a row. He won all 5 matches in the Challenger Brazil last month, as he went on to clinch the title by beating Andres Burruchaga in the final. Then in the ATP Auckland qualifying rounds, he defeated both Isaac Becroft and Patrick Kypson.

In his first game of the tournament, he defeated Borna Gojo in 3 sets (6:1,3:6, 2:6) and he recorded the following stats: 10 aces, 33/44 first serve points won, 13/20 second serve points won, 2/4 break points saved, 3 break points converted, 13 games won and 76 points in total.

His next match was against Botic Van De Zandschlup and he won in straight sets (5:7, 3:6). His stats in the game were: 2 aces, 1 double fault, 34/43 first serve points won, 10/20 second serve points won, 0/3 break points saved, 4 break points converted, 13 games won and 66 points in total.

Cameron Norrie sits in 19th place on the ATP ranking and it is not going too well for Brit after an inconsistent run of results. Cameron Norrie has failed to win 2 games in a row since the ATP New York Open back in September last year. After his defeat and ultimate elimination from the ATP Austria round of 16, he played against Novak Djokovic in the Davis Cup and lost in straight sets (6:4, 6:4). Then he got a win in his first United Cup tournament game against Alex de Minaur in 3 sets, but then he lost the next game against Taylor Fritz in straight sets (7:6, 6:4).

And in this tournament, he got off to a winning start in his last match against Luca Van Assche in 3 sets (3:6, 7:6, 1:6). His stats in the game were: 12 aces, 1 double fault, 45/61 first serve point won, 24/39 second serve point won, 5/6 break point saved, 4 break points converted, 18 games won and 104 points won in total.

There is no head-to-head record between both players.

Norrie’s inconsistent form will be a huge factor in this game and something to give Tabilo confidence. Tobilo is on a 10-match win streak at the moment and Norrie is just not the guy to stop that run. This should be a straightforward victory for Alejandro Tobilo.
