Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Matteo Berrettini preview
Third-seed Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime will take on sixth-seed Italian Matteo Berrettini in the quarter-final of the 2024 Swiss Open.
Aliassime has had an underwhelming season so far, with no titles yet. The Canadian has a 20-15 record for the season. He is returning from a disappointing first-round loss at the Wimbledon Championships against Thanasi Kokkinakis.
The Canadian had his best streak of performances on the clay this season. He reached the final of the Madrid Open, losing to Andrey Rublev. He also had a decent run till the fourth round at Roland Garros where he lost to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets.
Aliassime got a bye in the first round at the Swiss Open, as he was the third seed. He defeated Yannick Hanfmann of Germany in the second round in straight sets.
Matteo Berrettini has not played regularly on the tour this year, due to injuries. The Italian has made two finals in the limited outings he has had this season. He reached the final of the Morocco Open. The Italian won his eighth career title by defeating Roberto Carballes Baena in the final. Berrettini also reached the final of the Stuttgart Open but lost to Jack Draper in the final.
Berrettini defeated defending champion Pedro Cachin in straight sets in the first round of the Swiss Open. The Italian then registered a comprehensive win over Daniel Elahi Galan of Colombia in the second round.
Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Matteo Berrettini head-to-head

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Matteo Berrettini prediction
Both Aliassime and Berrettini are former top 10 players who have fallen in the rankings due to bad form or injuries. Aliassime is yet to win a title on clay in his career despite reaching three finals.
On the other hand, Berrettini has proven credentials on the clay, as the Italian has won four of his eight career titles on the surface, with the most recent being the Morocco Open this year.
Even though Aliassime is the higher seed, Berrettini is a far more accomplished player on clay and therefore has the advantage in this match.
Pick - Berrettini to win in straight sets.
