THE PREDICTION
28-year-old Christopher O’Connell will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of around 71st after a overcoming Filip Krajinovic in three sets on Thursday. The Aussie has been enjoying the form of his career so far this season with huge upsets over the likes of Roberto Bautista Agut and, just last week, Alexander Zverev at the Munich Open before defeat to eventual champion Holger Rune in the semi-finals. World number 10 Taylor Fritz also reached the semi-finals in Munich last week before losing to an inspired Botic van de Zandschulp. The 25-year-old is an excellent all-courter with deceptively good weapons for clay, particularly here in Madrid’s unique conditions at high altitude where his natural power will be turbo-charged. Fritz beat Stan Wawrinka, Jiri Lehecka and Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Monte-Carlo Masters earlier this month before losing in three sets to eventual champion Andrey Rublev and he should be considered a genuine dark horse for this title. Back the American to win in straight sets despite O’Connell’s recent form.
