Roman Safiullin vs Holger Rune prediction

Roman Safiullin looks to have found some semblance of form back on hard courts.

The Russian won just one of nine matches prior to Toronto and now has a couple of victories under his belt to boost his confidence, including a first round 6-3 6-3 success over Alejandro Tabilo.

The world number 80 now meets seventh seed Holger Rune for the third time having lost the previous two encounters last year on hard courts.

Aside from an instant exit at Wimbledon, the Dane has been showing signs of recapturing his best form and clearly has a game-plan that works against the Russian.

There’s no reason to expect anything other than a win for the Scandinavian here as he’s playing solid tennis and Safiullin remains some way off his best.
