THE PREDICTION
World number 15 Diego Schwartzman has endured a tough summer over his least effective surface, grass, and a disappointing return to is favoured clay. The 29-year-old has lost five of his last six matches since losing to Novak Djokovic in the round of 16 at Roland-Garros but he can be a menace on a hardcourt when in form and this should be a thriller between two entertaining clay-courters on the faster surface. World number 36 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina reached the quarter-finals of the Hamburg open last month before defeat to eventual champion Lorenzo Musetti and he reached a first Masters final back in April, finishing runner-up to Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Monte-Carlo Open. The 23-year-old has a high ceiling that should see him one day break the top 20, perhaps challenge the top 10 on occasion, but former world number eight Schwartzman leads this head-to-head record 3-0 with plenty more experience in these conditions and at this level. Take the Argentine to win at least a set as the likelier of two very capable victors inside an accumulator, or risk outright as a one-off.
