THE PREDICTION
23-year-old Alejandro Davidovich Fokina dropped back to world number 38 this week after losing his ranking points from a run to last season’s Monte-Carlo Open final. The Spaniard was unfortunate to draw Karen Khachanov in the first round last week in Monaco but he fared much better on Tuesday with a straight-sets victory over Tomas Martin Etcheverry. World number 40 Emil Ruusuvuori grabbed an eye-catching result over recent Houston Open champion Frances Tiafoe, though, to make a huge statement. The Finn overcame Tiafoe in three sets after blasting past Alexander Bublik on Monday and a recent run to the quarter-finals at the Miami Open suggests he will take some serious beating here. Davidovich Fokina is by far the more comfortable on this surface and he leads their head-to-head 1-0 after victory at Cologne 1 back in 2020 but there is certainly the scent of another upset here. Back ADF to edge this outright or consider taking Ruusuvuori to earn at least a set outside of an accumulator.
