THE PREDICTION
This time last season Roman Safiullin was one of a few Russians in the periphery alongside Aslan Karatsev whilst Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev and Karen Khachanov graced the top of the game but the 23-year-old could be one to watch in this early round as he aims to emulate the meteoric rise of Karatsev at this year’s Australian Open. He faces Carlos Taberner, also 23, in what could be a really entertaining first tour-level meeting between the two that goes under the radar on Sunday. Both players fought well to reach the first round via the qualifiers and this result could go either way. Take this match to see over three sets, if that is an option available, and if not pick Safiullin to win at least a set here.
