Fabio Fognini vs. Diego Schwartzman 10/27/21 - ATP Vienna, Austria Men Singles Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 10/26/2021 at 7:58 AM ET
Argentine tennis superstar Diego Schwartzman is set to play at the 2021 ATP Vienna Open in Austria. In his next match, Diego Schwartzman is set to play against Fabio Fognini from Italy.
Diego Schwartzman is the number 8 seed at the 2021 ATP Vienna Open and he enters this tournament having last played at the European Open. It was a good tournament for Diego Schwartzman as the Argentine made the final where he lost to Jannik Sinner. It has been a strong season for Diego Schwartzman as he has constantly been performing and that has seen him climb up the rankings this year. The season is near its end and Diego Schwartzman looks in good form and is determined to end the year on a high. I expect Diego Schwartzman to challenge for the Vienna Open title.
On the other side of the coin, Fabio Fognini will be looking to turn back the years as he plays at this tournament. The Italian superstar was once an elite player on the ATP tour but has faded away over the past few seasons. Fabio Fognini has been struggling as he has only won 1 match since the US Open. Fognini looks low on confidence and it seems like he is going to struggle in this match as he faces an elite player in Diego Schwartzman.
Diego Schwartzman and Fabio Fognini have played each other twice in the past with both players winning on 1 occasion. The most recent match between these two players was in 2017 at this tournament where Diego Schwartzman won in 3 sets. Fognini defeated Schwartzman in 2015 in Brazil.
Taking everything into context, I see Diego Schwartzman winning this match. Fabio Fognini has been struggling and I don't see the Italian having what it takes to compete with the Argentine superstar. I see Diego Schwartzman being good enough to win this match in straight sets.
