THE PREDICTION
This could be the match of the round on Monday between world number six Andrey Rublev and number 34 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. 25-year-old Rublev won the Monte-Carlo Masters last month to prove himself one of the best all-courters on tour but Davidovich Fokina is at his best in these conditions and the Spaniard is probably still the more natural performer on the surface. 23-year-old Davidovich Fokina enjoyed a relatively comfortable opener over the returning Guido Pella on Saturday but his three-set victory over Holger Rune at this stage of the Madrid Open two weeks ago is proof of what he is capable here. Rublev leads their head-to-head 2-0 after winning their most recent match at the Dubai Tennis Championships in February but both previous editions have seen sets go both ways, including at Roland-Garros in 2020. The sensible concession here is taking Rublev to earn at least a set but you could consider the three-set option as a one-off instead.
