THE PREDICTION
World number 47 Stan Wawrinka was edge out in a brutal three-set defeat to Marcos Giron at the Astana Open on Thursday, taking the first of three tight tiebreaks to come as close as possible to a win. The 38-year-old has successfully fought his way back to full tour life from injury but he is clearly desperate to pick up one more title post-surgery before hanging up the rackets for good and he came close in Umag back in July, also losing out in three tight sets in the final to Alexei Popyrin. World number 54 Dusan Lajovic claimed the second ATP title of his career at the Banja Luka Open bac in April in a rare purple patch, beating compatriot Novak Djokovic en-route, and the Serb is always capable of a seemingly random upset despite struggling for consistency in recent years. Wawrinka leads their head-to-head record 2-0 but they have not faced off since Roland-Garros in 2015, with both matches seeing sets go both ways. That makes backing Wawrinka to earn at least a set the sensible way to avoid a result but the Swiss should be edging through.
