THE LOWDOWN
World number 186 Lloyd Harris stunned 17th seed Lorenzo Musetti in five gruelling sets on Monday in his first tour-level match back since May. 25-year-old Harris reached the quarter-finals of the US Open in 2021 to set a career-high ATP world ranking of 31st but the South African struggled early last season before missing the second-half of the year through injury. It remains to be seen how his body recovers from such a baptism of fire but he will likely be on top of the world and raring to go mentally ahead of this potential thriller with Marton Fucsovics. World number 78 Fucsovics is also far better than his current ranking suggests but poor form is the culprit for his current low number. The 30-year-old also came through a five-set marathon match against Federico Coria on Monday and he was visibly ecstatic to win at the highest level again after a dreadful 2022.
THE PREDICTION
Harris and Fucsovics cannot help but draw each other on tour, with this their fifth meeting since the start of 2021 and sixth overall. The Hungarian leads their head-to-head 3-2 but with both players far from the peak of their powers this will be a fascinating edition of their rivalry. Given the euphoria, and his far better first round opponent, back Harris to earn at least two sets here Consider adding a tiebreak in the match, with three played in their last four meetings.
