Max Marterer - Ilya Ivashka

Max Marterer has been one of the top players on the challenger circuit this season , very calm player with very agressive game and big lefty serve to settle it . He has been every bit of impressive as the young player from Canada Auger Aliassime and he still continues to dominate , he lost only couple of matches of the last 20 that he has played and is on a run of 9 out of 10 lasst . Plays against Ivashka who is a normally good hardcourt player but lack of matches in the last three months ( only two ) and the recent injury made me doubt his conditioning for this one . He would have been a big underdog as it is but in this kind of form against a mad dog like Marterer dont see how he stands a chance .
