THE PREDICTION
World number five Andrey Rublev came back from a set down to beat in-form Tallon Griekspoor on Wednesday and he should be better for the early scare. The 25-year-old lost to Alex de Minaur in the first round of the Rotterdam Open last week but he has typically played very well in Doha as a former champion in 2020. World number 52 Jiri Lehecka is yet to drop a set this week after beating both Damir Dzumhur and Emil Ruusuvuori with second-set tiebreaks and the powerful Czech looks well capable of providing the upset here. Both players reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, with Rublev losing in straight sets to eventual champion Novak Djokovic and Lehecka in three to runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas. This could prove quite the baseline slugfest if both bring their best but Lehecka is playing with an impressive freedom right now that makes backing him to earn at leas a set looks the sensible way to avoid picking a winner.
