THE PREDICTION

There will be a lot of attention on 17-year-old Joao Fonseca’s shoulders this week in Bucharest but and he lived up to the hype on Monday, stunning Lorenzo Sonego in straight sets. The Brazilian fabulously reached the quarter-finals of the Rio 500 in February to prove himself a serious talent already, and a potential future star on clay, but he has suffered some avoidable defeats on the Challenger circuit recently to call for caution. 34-year-old Radu Albot is a proper tour veteran with the capability to rise above the noise here. The Moldovan overcame in-form Aleksandar Kovacevic in three sets on Monday to grab a, these days, rare tour win but he finished runner-up at the Girona Challenger last month to bring some solid form on clay into this intriguing clash. Take Fonseca to earn at least a set as the likelier of two capable quarter-finalists.

TIP: JOAO FONSECA TO WIN A SET
