THE PREDICTION

World number seven Andrey Rublev came back from a set down to avoid an early exit to Cam Norrie at the China Open last week but he lost in similar circumstances to Ugo Humbert in the round of 16. The 25-year-old broke his ATP 1000 duck this season with a first Masters title claimed at the Monte-Carlo Open but he laboured to a quarter-final exit at the US Open last month to suggest he is some way off of his best level right now. World number 76 Quentin Halys is a real threat here in conditions that suit his rugged game and a three-set victory over Aslan Karatsev suggests he is capable of a career-best upset here. The 26-year-old found the form of his career on the early hardcourt swing, at one point taking Novak Djokovic to two tiebreaks in a hugely impressive display, and backing him to snatch at least a set could be the shrewd move in lieu of sensibly backing Rublev to win outright.
