THE PREDICTION
World number 27 Lorenzo Musetti snapped a six-match losing streak with a straight-sets result over home hopeful Coleman Wong Chak-lam on Tuesday but it was far from convincing from a player of his pedigree. The 21-year-old endured a woeful second-half of last season, winning just six matches after the end of the clay swing in the summer, and this looks set to be a wake-up call against in-form Pavel Kotov in their first tour-level encounter. 25-year-opld Kotov ended last season in the form of his life, setting a career-high ATP world ranking of 66th after finishing runner-up to Gael Monfils in a thrilling Stockholm Open final, and he looks set to enjoy the next few months on hardcourts if he can maintain that level. A straight-sets victory over Nuno Borges was convincing on Monday and evidence enough to suggest he can upset the out-of-sorts sixth seed here.
TIP: PAVEL KOTOV TO WIN
