We’re down to four at the Los Cabos Open. Top seed Fabio Fognini is out, but Friday’s semifinals feature an all-Argentine match between #2 seed Guido Pella and #3 seed Diego Schwartzman, and two of the most in-form players on tour–Taylor Fritz and Radu Albot.
Los Cabos Semifinals Predictions
Diego Schwartzman vs Guido Pella
H2H- Pella leads 2-1
We’re guaranteed to have one Argentine in the Los Cabos final. Diego Schwartzman is coming in off a routine 6-1 6-2 win over Mikhail Kukushkin in his last match. Meanwhile, Guido Pella had to work for his three-set win over qualifier Soon-woo Kwon. Pella won their most recent match in Cordoba on clay, but Schwartzman looks to be in excellent form at the moment. I can see it being close, but Schwartzman should come out on top.
Prediction: Schwartzman in 2
Taylor Fritz vs Radu Albot
H2H- First Meeting
Earlier in the week, I thought there would be a good chance that American Taylor Fritz would withdraw from the Los Cabos Open after his run in Atlanta. He now finds himself one match away from a spot in Saturday’s final after defeating top seed Fabio Fognini in straight sets. Radu Albot’s impressive 2019 continues as well, as the Moldovan is 29-16 on the year. Albot is the type of player that doesn’t make a ton of unforced errors, but Taylor Fritz can hit him off the court if he plays how he has all week. I think Albot manages to take a set, but I think Fritz gets through and makes his second final in as many weeks.
Prediction: Fritz in 3
