Fritz resumed his hunt for a maiden hard-court title for the season at the Canadian Open. After receiving a first-round bye, the American faced Roberto Carballes Baena in the second round.

Taylor Fritz vs Gabriel Diallo prediction
Fritz has been in scintillating form on the tour recently, winning 12 of his last 14 matches. He was exceptional overall in the second round against Baena. The American should not have much trouble at this stage of the tournament.
Diallo's serves were his strong asset in the match against Gigante. He also showed great composure to get through a tense tie-break in the second set. However, it will be an uphill task for the youngster to get a similar result against second-seeded Fritz.
Fritz enters the fixture as the favorite given his superior overall play. However, it will not be a straight-forward win given how Diallo made the American go the distance when the two faced each other three weeks back at Wimbledon.
Pick: Fritz to win in three sets.
