Mackenzie McDonald vs Francisco Cerundolo: Eastbourne International 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Mackenzie McDonald battled through a challenging quarterfinal match against Mikael Ymer at ATP Eastbourne. Despite losing a set lead, he managed to overcome a break deficit in the deciding set to secure victory. This was his first three-setter of the tournament, following dominant wins over Marco Cecchinato and Taylor Fritz in the earlier rounds. The clay season disrupted McDonald’s form, but his quarterfinal result in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and current semifinal run in Eastbourne are helping him regain momentum. With a potential return to the top 50 of the ATP rankings, the former world #48 is determined to improve his record in semifinal matches. In the 2023 season, he lost his only previous semifinal encounter against fellow American Taylor Fritz in Delray Beach.

Francisco Cerundolo achieved a career milestone by winning consecutive matches in the main draw of a grass event for the first time. In the ATP Eastbourne tournament, he defeated Marc-Andrea Huesler and Zhizhen Zhang in straight sets, securing a spot in the semifinals. Despite being known for his clay court prowess, the Argentine has shown adaptability on different surfaces. He reached the semifinals of the Miami Masters on hardcourt in 2022 and now finds himself in the grass court semifinals of the ATP Eastbourne tournament. While his results on grass have been limited, Cerundolo displayed promise by taking a set off former champion Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon last year. His recent semifinal appearance in Lyon ended in a close loss to Arthur Fils.
