THE PREDICTION
This promises to be one of the more exciting matches on Sunday between world number 12 Karen Khachanov and number 25 Roberto Bautista Agut. 34-year-old Bautista Agut leads Khachanov 6-2 in a surprisingly one-sided head-to-head record but the Russian has won both of their matches on clay over the years, at Barcelona back in 2016 and at the Rome Masters in 2019, to suggest this will be very close indeed. Both players needed three sets to come through their opening matches, with RBA blowing off some cobwebs in a comeback over Quentin Halys and Khachanov seeing off in-form Thiago Monteiro. Five of their eight meetings have seen sets go both ways but the Spaniard has won at least a set in all of them, so taking that option looks the suitable addition to an accumulator here particularly on home clay in Madrid. Otherwise, a one-off on the match to see three sets seems a reasonable risk and you could consider adding at least one tiebreak for good measure.
