THE PREDICTION
This should be a fascinating encounter between two tour veterans in 37-year-old Stan Wawrinka and 34-year-old Roberto Bautista Agut, especially with Wawrinka playing out of his skin at home in Basel. The Swiss former world number three stunned second-seed Casper Ruud in the first round amongst rapturous support and he overcame in-form Brandon Nakashima in straight sets perhaps even more impressively as his surprising resurgence continues. World number 22 Bautista Agut beat old foe Andy Murray in straight sets on Thursday for a statement victory, breaking the Brit’s serve four times in an assured performance. The Spaniard would be the clear favourite to come through this match on current form, and ranking, but there is something special happening for Wawrinka in this partisan atmosphere that suggests this could be a thrilling upset. The pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record but their last match came way back in 2019, although Wawrinka did claim their first meeting on an indoor hardcourt back in 2016.
The Swiss will do his utmost to squeeze through, with opportunities like this week few and far between, but the sensible option remains taking RBA to win outright. Perhaps the sentimental thing to do would be backing Wawrinka to earn at least a set.
