Last season's last tournament for Fritz was the Masters in Paris, from which the American dropped out before the round of 16 against German Altmaier, complaining of injury. Fritz was not present at the Final, and before the current tournament, Taylor played three exhibition matches: he lost to Ruud and Dimitrov and was stronger than Daniil Medvedev.
Cameron Norrie
The Great Britain team has already played one match in Australia, beating the host team 2:1, and Cameron Norrie gave the most important point by beating Alex De Minaur in three games. The match turned out to be tight, lasting two hours and 23 minutes, with the boys coming back from a tiebreak in the third set, which Norrie won 7:2. During the game, Norrie had seven aces and one double fault, won 89% of his points on first serve and 38% on second serve.
Expert Betting Tips
We believe that Fritz is overrated. First, Norrie had already practiced in Australia and achieved a crucial win over De Minaur, and Alex was playing on his court. Whereas Fritz had a few short exhibition matches, but nothing more than that, and a weak tone at the end of last season. Secondly, Norrie has experience beating Americans in this tournament. Thirdly, there is no big difference in class between the future rivals.
