THE PREDICTION

World number 21 Roberto Bautista Agut took out eighth-seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in a high-powered first round clash on Monday to get his Astana Open campaign underway with a statement. The Spaniard has won two ATP titles this season to bring his career tally to 11 but he shows no clear signs of slowing down at 34 years old. 23-year-old Pavel Kotov should break the top 100 on tour for the first time no matter the outcome of this round of 16 match after upsetting Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in straight sets on Tuesday for a career-best victory. The Russian came through qualifying as a lucky loser to suggest caution is key here as we have so often seen second chances taken well over the last few seasons on tour. That makes taking RBA to win outright the advisable call here, even though he should be able to take it in two.
