THE PREDICTION
This is a hugely surprising semi-final at the Canada Masters between world number 23 Pablo Carreno Busta and number 39 Dan Evans, with the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini in their half of the draw. Both players came into Montreal with very little recent form to speak of, in terms of top-level results at least, but 31-year-old Carreno Busta is yet to drop a set this week with a host of top names, like Sinner and Berrettini, as well as rising stars in his wake. The Spaniard is a very capable player at this level on his day as a two-time US Open semi-finalist, though, whilst 32-year-old Evans is through to his second-ever Masters semi-final. The Brit has been struggling for consistent performances all season long but two wins over Taylor Fritz in as many weeks, a huge straight-sets result over world number eight Andrey Rublev, and a stunning comeback victory over Tommy Paul on Friday make for a seriously impressive sudden run that will see him safely back inside the top 30 on Monday.
This should be a thrilling first meeting on tour between Carreno Busta’s relentless ball-striking and Evans’ silky shot-making, a perfect combination for a three-set showdown. Given Carreno Busta’s record this week the Spaniard should be backed to win at least a set here as the just-about likelier victor but a one-off on this match to require a deciding set seems a reasonable risk too.
