THE PREDICTION
World number 9 Diego Schwartzman will be disappointed with his comfortable defeat by Alexander Zverev at the bett1HULKS Championship on Sunday but the Argentine is still in the form of his career and is consistently reaching the latter stages of tournaments. The 28-year-old will remain focused in a quick turnaround here as he faces Dusan Lajovic for the fifth time in their careers, with Schwartzman leading their head-to-head record 3-1. Lajovic has lost the past three meetings with Schwartzman, including a third round Australian Open defeat at the turn of the year, and he will come up against an immovable wall in the first round here. With ATP Finals qualification still left to secure, Schwartzman should be considered a dark horse for the tournament proper and he should come through this match in straight-sets.
Diego Schwartzman has pulled out of the Vienna Open at short notice and has been replaced by Lorenzo Sonego.
