THE PREDICTION
27-year-old Sebastian Ofner set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 37th this week after an excellent run to the semi-finals of the Hong Kong Open saw big results over Mackenzie McDonald, Jan-Lennard Struff and Roberto Bautista Agut. The Austrian first came to the fore on clay last season, reaching the round of 16 at Roland-Garros, but strong work on later hardcourts suggested he could enjoy a start to 2024 like this and a consummate victory over former number 13, Denis Shapovalov, on Tuesday confirmed it. World number 67 Roberto Carballes Baena also beat his fellow Spaniard Bautista Agut, in straight sets on Monday, for an impressive opening win in 2024 but he is certainly more comfortable on his favoured clay. The conditions better-suit Ofner in this first meeting between the two so back the seventh seed to edge this match outright.
TIP: SEBASTIAN OFNER TO WIN
