THE PREDICTION

World number 66 Pedro Cachin burst into form on the summer clay swing last season but the Argentine managed just one win last month in a poor South American swing. Both Cachin and former world number 16 Nikoloz Bailashvili have just one win this season but whilst the Argentine can be forgiven for struggling with a new-found place on the tour 31-year-old Basilashvili’s quickly decelerating career is more concerning. The Georgian finished runner-up to Cam Norrie here in October 2021 but he has since plummeted down the rankings as problems off the court look to be affecting his level on the court. Current world number 118 Basilashvili has one of the loosest forehands on the tour, capable of anything, and coming in as Novak Djokovic’s alternate could make him dangerous here. Leave this match out of an accumulator but otherwise take Basilashvili to take at least a set, perhaps even to lose in three.
