Who will win Sakamoto vs Diallo?

Rei Sakamoto. Agatha gives Sakamoto a 55% chance to win and predicts a 2-0 win in sets. It is one of Agatha's Best Tennis Bets for Oct 17.

Why Agatha picks Sakamoto

Rei Sakamoto beat Andrey Rublev 6-4, 6-4 in Round 2 of the Rolex Shanghai Masters on Oct 9, and he is 7-3 over the last 10 matches. Gabriel Diallo is 5-5 over the last 10 matches and retired against Luciano Darderi in Round 2 of the National Bank Open on Aug 4. Agatha picks Sakamoto to win, a little better than a coin flip, and predicts straight sets. The risk is Diallo beat Harold Mayot 7-6, 6-2 in the first qualifying round of the Almaty Open on Oct 17.
