THE PREDICTION
World number 37 Dusan Lajovic is on a four-match losing streak and struggling on his favoured surface so far this season, with this first meeting against Denis Shapovalov looking a tough draw indeed. 21-year-old Shapovalov is consistently inconsistent on tour but enters the Madrid Open as the 11th seed with merit and he should be looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat to Corentin Moutet at Estoril last week. 30-year-old Lajovic can be excellent on clay but his confidence looks shot right now so take the world number 14 to win this first round match.
