THE PREDICTION
World number 75 Alexei Popyrin should enjoy the high-altitude conditions in Madrid as one of the harder hitters on tour and a three-set defeat to Alex Molcan at the Banja Luka Open last week suggests he is up for a fight. The 23-year-old has already won almost twice as many matches this season as he did in a woeful one last year and he has won the first match in each of his last three tournaments on clay. World number 66 Quentin Halys enjoys clay tennis too if his recent run to the semi-finals of the Estoril Open is anything to by. The 26-year-old beat two former top 10s in Dominic Thiem and Roberto Bautista Agut before eventual champion Casper Ruud saw him off in three and he beat Popyrin in straight sets at the Newport Open last summer, although the Aussie was a shadow of himself by then. Back Halys to earn at least a set and leave the victor up to chance.
