THE PREDICTION
21-year-old Flavio Cobolli looked like a deer in headlights against a returning Rafael Nadal at the Barcelona Open two weeks ago but he has responded to that heavy defeat admirably, upsetting Alejandro Tabilo and Nicolas Jarry in three sets apiece to break inside the top 60 on tour for the first time. The Italian also stunned Jarry en-route to the third round of the Australian Open back in January and upsets over the likes of Gael Monfils and Felix Auger-Aliassime depict a fast-improving player on tour with a fearless streak that should aid him at prestigious tournaments like Madrid.
World number 17 Karen Khachanov came back from a set down to beat old foe Roberto Bautista Agut on Saturday and he looks the favourite in this first encounter on recent form, with a big run to the quarter-finals of the Monte-Carlo Open seeing three great wins over Cam Norrie, Francisco Cerundolo and Daniil Medvedev before he fell to eventual champion Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Russian is an excellent, tireless all-court threat whose patience is his best asset but Cobolli should not be underestimated with a point to prove. Back Khachanov to win outright.
TIP: KAREN KHACHANOV TO WIN
