Prediction
Zizou Bergs in 3 sets.
Why? Because Fearnleyâs implied probability is tantalizingly close to 57%, but Bergsâ recent consistency (and his ability to thrive in âunseeded chaosâ) makes him the safer bet. Plus, Fearnleyâs -1.5 spread is a tight lineâlike betting a tennis ball wonât bounce twice.
Final Score Prediction: Bergs 6-4, 6-3.
âFearnley will fight, but Bergs will serve-and-volley his way to victory, leaving Jacob wondering if âCincinnatiâ is a city or a type of regret.â

Place your bets, but donât blame me when Bergsâ backhand cross-court winner hits you in the gut. Itâs poetic justice. đž
