THE PREDICTION
World number 13 Alex de Minaur came back from a set down to edge past Jack Draper with two tiebreaks in a very tight opener on Tuesday. The 24-year-old is enjoying the best year of his career by far after claiming his most prestigious title yet at the Acapulco Open in February and more recently reaching a Masters final for the first time, finishing runner-up to Jannik Sinner in Toronto two months ago. Former world number eight Diego Schwartzman poses a significant threat, though, after a remarkable run to the round of 16 at the Shanghai Masters last week saw him stun Jiri Lehecka and Taylor Fritz before a three-set defeat to Nicolas Jarry. The 31-year-old has endured the worst 12 months of his career September-to-September to come into the Japan Open ranked 113th in the world but a straight-sets opener over compatriot Francisco Cerundolo was hugely encouraging on Tuesday.
De Minaur beat the Argentine in straight sets at Queen’s in June but this second encounter looks set to be a lot tighter. Back De Minaur to edge through as the winner of a potential thriller or consider a risky pick for three sets.
