THE PREDICTION

This should be an exciting all-Spanish encounter between world number 26 Roberto Bautista Agut and number 32 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The pair share a finely poised head-to-head record at 1-1 after RBA beat ADF in straight sets at the Qatar Open last season, en-route to his 10th ATP title, but the younger Spaniard also won on a hardcourt back in 2021 to make things interesting here. 34-year-old Bautista Agut needed three sets to overcome an impressive Robin Haase on Wednesday whilst Davidovich Fokina has convinced in two straight-sets victories over Brandon Nakashima and John Millman. The 23-year-old is well capable of winning this but Bautista Agut’s mentality is a serious thing to try and break at this stage of a tournament. Back the elder Spaniard to earn at least a set here and leave the victor up to chance.
