Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Olympic Games match.
Fritz/Paul
Unlike Evans and Murray, Fritz and Paul are well-coordinated. They’ve been playing together for seven years. They’ve had quite simple opponents in Paris. Fritz and Paul win the games as they’re good at the first serve. They’ve taken 76% of the points at the first serve in the first game and 85% in the second one.
Evans/Murray
This is the third tournament for Evans and Murray in the last six years. The last time they played together was during a Roland Garros tournament. The English players were eliminated in the first round, defeated by Báez and Wild (6:7, 6:7).
Fritz/Paul - Evans/Murray Prediction
Evans and Murray hardly managed to beat Gillé and Vliegen in the previous round. They won two sets on tie-breaks, despite losing 9 points on their own serve.Fritz and Paul will have no mercy in the same scenario. The US players are supposed to win.
