THE PREDICTION

Tennis fans across the world will be hoping that former world number three Stan Wawrinka can finally claim that elusive 17th ATP title at the Croatia Open, where he claimed his first way back in 2006. The 38-year-old has not win a title since Geneva in 2017 and it would be the crowning achievement of his ‘second career’ after potentially career-ending surgery. The Swiss is yet to drop a set this week after ousting second seed Lorenzo Sonego in impressive fashion on Saturday but world number 90 Alexei Popyrin has played very well this week, coming back from a set down to beat Matteo Arnaldi yesterday to prove his credentials on clay. The big-serving Aussie has played well despite struggling to find enough first serves but he should struggle in this first meeting with Wawrinka if he cannot improve that stat. The veteran will throw everything he has into this battle and he is likely to receive the majority, if not all, of the support. Take Wawrinka to win outright.
