THE PREDICTION

32-year-old Dusan Lajovic enjoyed the best campaign of his career with a brilliant run to the Banja Luka title last week, beating in-form Andrey Rublev in the final. The Serb moved back up to world number 40 this week for his trouble but as strong as his wins over Rublev, Miomir Kecmanovic and a defining first over Novak Djokovic are the Serb is absolutely the sort of player to immediately lose his next match on tour. 29-year-old Jason Kubler set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 63rd this week after some strong recent wins over the likes of Lorenzo Sonego and Grigor Dimitrov at Indian Wells and a run to the quarter-finals of the Houston Open on clay. The Aussie was previously lauded as a future threat on clay before his inordinate amount of injuries blighted such a promising career but he is enjoying his best spell of fitness ever and keen to make up for lost time. Lajovic has been playing deceptively good tennis this season but taking Kubler to earn at least a set here seems the shrewd way to leave the victor up to chance.
