THE PREDICTION
This is a huge opportunity for either of Russian wildcard Roman Safiullin and lucky loser Emilio Gomez to reach the second round of an ATP 500 event for the first time in their careers. In fact, in 23-year-old Safiullin’s case, the second round of any tour-level event at all, while 28-year-old Gomez made it to the second round of the ATP 250 Colombia Open as far back as 2013. This could be a nervous affair between two players with little tour experience but a small home crowd should swing the result for Safiullin here if the points get tight.
