THE PREDICTION
World number 13 Alex de Minaur did well to avoid an upset against a resurgent Diego Schwartzman on Thursday, handing the Argentine a first-set bagel before a tighter second set. The 24-year-old came back from a set down to beat Jack Draper on Tuesday and he is now the highest remaining seed in the draw after defending champion Taylor Fritz crashed out in the round of 16. World number 50 Aslan Karatsev will prove a huge test, though, after ousting last season’s runner-up Frances Tiafoe on Tuesday and backing it up with a straight-set victory over in-form Zhizhen Zhang. The 30-year-old former number 14 has endured another really erratic season on tour as he desperately seeks out the form that saw him reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open two years ago but he beat De Minaur in his best run of this season in three sets en-route to the last four in Madrid. The pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record with De Minaur earning at least a set in each, so take the Aussie to do so here to avoid picking a result.
