THE PREDICTION

19-year-old Arthur Fils should break the top 40 for a first time after an excellent straight-sets result over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Sunday. The 19-year-old had lost to Davidovich Fokina in the first rounds of both Roland-Garros and Wimbledon this summer to add an extra edge to his vengeance but he has enjoyed an excellent breakthrough year on the ATP tour elsewhere, winning his maiden title at the Lyon Open in May and making semi-finals in Marseille, Montpellier and Hamburg. World number 12 Tommy Paul avoided a potential banana skin on Saturday with an assured victory over Sebastian Ofner and he should feel better for it after a tough exit to Daniil Medvedev in Beijing before that. The 26-year-old was in excellent form in August, beating Carlos Alcaraz at the Canada Masters for a second season running, but recent performances have felt a little lacking. This could be a proper thriller on Monday. Consider a one-off on Fils to earn at least a set here or take the same option for Paul in a suitably cautious pick for an accumulator.
