Dallas is one of the first ATP 500 events of the year and, as expected, it features a lot of American players looking to win a significant title on home soil. On a quick surface like this one, players like Tommy Paul, Sebastian Korda, Frances Tiafoe, and Taylor Fritz, who will all be in action this Wednesday, can certainly go all the way if they manage to play their best this week. Who do you think will advance?<\/p>\n

ATP Dallas Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Trevor Svajda vs Ethan Quinn<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head:<\/strong> Quinn 1-0 Svajda<\/p>\n

Their one previous meeting happened at this very tournament last year, with Quinn winning with relative ease. One year later, Quinn remains clearly the better player of the two and under normal circumstances this match should be quite similar to last year’s and it should be Quinn making it through to the next round here.
\nPrediction:<\/strong> Quinn in 2<\/p>\n

James Duckworth vs Eliot Spizzirri<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n

Spizziri had a breakthrough Australian Open<\/a>, beating Jo\u00e3o Fonseca and causing some serious problems to Jannik Sinner, proving that he has the ability to significantly rise up the rankings. At this point, he seems to be on a clearly higher level than Duckworth and should be looking to make a strong run here in Dallas.
\nPrediction:<\/strong> Spizzirri in 2<\/p>\n

Adam Walton vs Adrian Mannarino<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head:<\/strong> Walton 1-0 Mannarino<\/p>\n

Mannarino had a rough start to the season, but last week’s run to the final in Montpellier showed that he still has what it takes to remain an ATP level player. On quick surfaces like this he is a very dangerous player and could well use the momentum from last week to avenge last year’s defeat to Walton in Acapulco.<\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Mannarino in 3<\/p>\n

Taylor Fritz vs Brandon Nakashima<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head:<\/strong> Fritz 2-1 Nakashima<\/p>\n

Nakashima started the season well with a final in Brisbane, but followed it up with a disappointing first round loss at the Australian Open. He has established himself as a Top 30 level player and certainly has a chance here, especially with Fritz struggling<\/a> so far this season, seemingly affected by some physical issues.
\nPrediction:<\/strong> Nakashima in 3<\/p>\n
