Alexei Popyrin vs Kamil Majchrzak prediction
Two players lurking just outside the top 50 will do battle for the first time at tour-level in Dubai.
Alexei Popyrin sits just three places better off in the rankings than Kamil Majchrzak but has been in free-fall since last year’s US Open, losing ten matches on the spin before a solitary success against a wildcard from Qatar in Doha last week.
Majchrzak has fared better but is also searching for his best tennis having lost three of his last four.
As a result, this is a tough one to call and one to consider swerving.
Popyrin is a menace to anyone on his day, but he’s so out of sorts, it’s a risk to back him. The Aussie will ignite again soon but will it be here?
It’s not even certain he knows which Alexei will turn up at the moment and the fact he would be too strong for Majchrzak if he did produce some of what he is capable of, also makes it dubious to pick the Pole.
Alexei Popyrin vs Kamil Majchrzak tip: No bet.
