THE PREDICTION

This could be a thrilling clash of styles between big-serving former number three Milos Raonic and world number seven Holger Rune as the pair meet for the first time. 33-year-old Raonic rode his luck in avoiding a first round encounter with Rafael Nadal, beating lucky loser Sumit Nagal comfortably in his stead, but a recent run to the quarter-finals of the Rotterdam Open was encouraging before his glass cannon of a body let him down once again against eventual champion Jannik Sinner last month. 20-year-old Rune has endured a really tough spell on tour practically ever since the start of the hardcourt swing last August but a run to the semi-finals of the Mexican Open last week was promising back under former coach Patrick Mouratoglou. At his best, the Dane would have far too much industry to suffer the consequences of Raonic’s hammer-serve but Raonic will be desperate to make the most of an opponent in slight flux at this moment in time. Take Rune to win outright and consider adding at least a tiebreak with the youngster facing a tough day of returning.

TIP: HOLGER RUNE TO WIN
