THE PREDICTION
33-year-old Dusan Lajovic lost his ranking points from a fairy-tale run to the Banja Luka Open title this time last season but he secured himself against a serious drop with a fabulous campaign in Barcelona. The world number 65 beat Diego Schwartzman, Ugo Humbert, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Arthur Fils to reach the semi-finals in Barcelona, where he took the first set from eventual runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas before defeat. Consistency from one tournament to the next has always been the erratic Serb’s downfall on tour but this looks a kind enough opener over qualifier Thiago Monteiro, who did well to come through two three-setters to reach the main draw in Madrid. Lajovic leads their head-to-head 2-1 but his defeat ton the Brazilian came via an injury retirement in 2017 to suggest he can roll through to the second round.
TIP: DUSAN LAJOVIC TO WIN
