THE PREDICTION
World number 73 Jiri Vesely enjoyed a random week of lights-out tennis at the Dubai Tennis Championships back in February, beating Marin Cilic, Roberto Bautista Agut, Novak Djokovic and Denis Shapovalov before defeat to Andrey Rublev in the final. The 28-year-old has failed to win a tour-level match since, though, and this looks a real head-scratcher on Tuesday against world number 92 Steve Johnson in similar form. 32-year-old Johnson stunned Aslan Karatsev to reach the third round of Indian Wells back in March and he has enjoyed some decent results on the Challenger circuit since but it is tough to pick a winner here between two players with little recent form. Vesely won their only previous meeting in straight sets at last season’s Emilia-Romagna Open on clay and that makes backing the Czech to win at least two sets here the sensible move, leaving the winner up to chance.
