THE PREDICTION
World number 12 Tommy Paul came back from a set down to beat Daniel Altmaier on Monday but he should be better for the early scare in Tokyo. The 26-year-old won his only ATP title to date at the Stockholm Open this time two years ago but he has vastly improved in the past 12 months, with a run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January his greatest achievement to date. 28-year-old Mackenzie McDonald has also enjoyed the best year of his career, brining an ATP world rankings high of 37th into Tokyo after recent deep runs in Toronto and Cincinnati. A straight-sets victory over Max Purcell on Monday was a solid start to his campaign but recent defeats to Karen Khachanov, Grigor Dimitrov and Francisco Cerundolo suggest he could struggle against a player of Paul’s level. Paul beat McDonald in straight sets in Acapulco back in February to take a 2-0 lead in their head-to-head and backing him to win outright here looks a reasonable call.
