THE PREDICTION

The rise and rise of 26-year-old Botic van de Zandschulp is one of the more impressive sub-plots of this season but the Dutchman will beak the top 60 next Monday for a first time after reaching the quarter-finals via a brilliant three-set victory over Marton Fucsovics. The current world number 61 made a stunning run to the quarter-finals of the US Open back in September and he was the only man able to take a set off of eventual champion Daniil Medvedev there in a four-set exit. 21-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime just missed out on ATP Finals qualification this season after a poor exit at last week’s Paris Masters to lucky loser Dominik Koepfer in the second round. The Canadian will play a promising Davis Cup Finals as part of second seeds Team Canada later this month but he has been unconvincing enough in recent weeks against players he should be beating to suggest a small upset could be in the offing here. Van de Zandschulp to win at least a set in this first meeting with Auger-Aliassime is not out of the question, so taking that or even a punt on the outright victory could be a shrewd move here.
