### Prediction
Zizou Bergs in 3 sets.
Why? Because Fearnley’s implied probability is tantalizingly close to 57%, but Bergs’ recent consistency (and his ability to thrive in “unseeded chaos”) makes him the safer bet. Plus, Fearnley’s -1.5 spread is a tight line—like betting a tennis ball won’t bounce twice.

Final Score Prediction: Bergs 6-4, 6-3.
“Fearnley will fight, but Bergs will serve-and-volley his way to victory, leaving Jacob wondering if ‘Cincinnati’ is a city or a type of regret.”

Place your bets, but don’t blame me when Bergs’ backhand cross-court winner hits you in the gut. It’s poetic justice. 🎾
