In their last three matches, both players have had mixed results, with Machac winning his last match against Luca Nardi convincingly, while Fonseca also won his last encounter against Miomir Kecmanovic.

Final Prediction

Tomas Machac holds a slight edge due to his higher Elo rating and stronger performance on hard courts, as evidenced by his superior return index. A key factor to watch will be how both players manage their fatigue levels, given they have the same cumulative fatigue from their previous matches. This could ultimately influence the outcome of this tightly contested match.
