Top seed Taylor Fritz and Britain’s Cameron Norrie are preparing to meet in first round action at ATP Tokyo on Tuesday.
Taylor Fritz vs Cameron Norrie Prediction
One wouldn’t usually expect this to be an opening round encounter, but Cameron Norrie’s form has been nothing short of disastrous in 2023 and he has lost a lot of ranking points that saw the Briton inside the top ten previously, especially his Wimbledon semi-final run.
Taylor Fritz has been pretty disappointing himself this season. This was meant to be the year in Fritz’s career where he challenged for the biggest titles on the tour. In truth he has been nowhere near a Grand Slam title and no Masters final appearance as of yet either. This could change in Tokyo this week where Fritz is the top seed.
Fritz has won nine opening round matches in a row and with Cam Norrie’s troubles the American is the rightful favourite. However, despite losing his last two, Norrie has fought hard against Andrey Rublev and JJ Wolf and lost narrow three-setters in the end. This could be the case again here.
