Raphael Collignon vs Alexei Popyrin prediction
Alexei Popyrin hit back to down in-form Roman Andres Burruchaga in Montreal.
The former champion, who is still searching for his best form, dug out a 4-6 7-5 6-3 success to boost confidence that has been flagging for much of 2026.
Next up, the Aussie takes on 32nd seed Raphael Collignon, who is at the other end of the spectrum in terms of belief.
The Belgian is in and around a career high in what is becoming a breakthrough season.
Collignon claimed a 6-4 6-2 triumph on the grass of Halle in their only prior meeting recently and although this place has fond memories for Alexei, this is going to be a big-ask given the consistency of his opponent at present.
