Popywin?

The Australian seems a step above Bautista this season but the Spaniard will fight!

Good surprise last week with a victory over Lehecka for Bautista, I'm taking nothing away from his victory but the Czech was in a bad day and Bautista had an almost perfect match on his side. Behind we saw him far too limited against Hurkacz, he still has a good server and will suffer on Popyrin's first balls. In the exchange he will have time to play his game on the other hand, Popyrin will have to be patient and hurt on neutral balls. The surface is extremely fast and favors the Australian's game, his serve/forehand sequence will be decisive in his match.
