THE PREDICTION
28-year-old Christopher O’Connell stunned third seed Botic van de Zandschulp from a set down on Thursday to pull within one place of his career-high ATP world ranking of 78th in the live rankings. The Aussie looks set to enjoy his best season on tour after a strong start to 2023 and he has already beaten the likes of Roberto Bautista Agut and Emil Ruusuvuori this year to suggest he could break the top 50 if he can maintain this level. World number 114 Pavel Kotov also grabbed a bug win on Thursday with a straight-sets result over Benjamin Bonzi as his opponent looked jaded following a rain-disrupted first round. This is a huge opportunity for both players to reach a rare tour semi-final but O’Connell has to be favoured in this vein of form. Back the Aussie to edge through outright against a solid clay-courter in Kotov.
