THE LOWDOWN

Qualifier Alex Molcan has made it to the third round of a Grand Slam event for the first time in his career. In fact, it is only the first time he has qualified for the finals of a major. The 23 year-old Slovakian has had a relatively favourable run against fellow qualifier Cem Ilkel and then a five set victory over wild card entry Brandon Nakashima. He now comes up against the tournament’s eleventh seed Diego Schwartzman. Schwartzman is yet to drop a set after impressive victories over Ricardas Berankis and Kevin Anderson.

THE PREDICTION

Although the run that Alex Molcan has been on is a special story, it is unlikely to continue past this match. Schwartzman has been in good form in this tournament and the Argentine will be looking to edge closer to matching his best performance at the US Open of the quarter-finals. This should be a comfortable Schwartzman win.
