In my opinion, it is definitely worth betting on Alexei Popirin, even as an underdog. In recent matches, he has shown gradual improvement in his game. Furthermore, Russvori had a fortunate draw, eliminating Andrei Rublev, who may have underestimated his opponent. Perhaps after such a tough match, Russvori decided to rest and concede, as he has done in the past. I participated in the competition yesterday and unfortunately got eliminated, so there is no need to be afraid to take risks - bet on Popirin. His game is getting better with each match. He lost to Purcell, but it should be noted that Purcell plays in a specific style with an active serve and quick net movement. Even Casper Ruud struggled with this style of play. Popirin, on the other hand, had the opportunity to rest after his last match against Wawrinka. It is also worth mentioning his good performance on hard courts. Of course, Popirin is still an inconsistent player who may not be stronger than Russvori. However, in my opinion, Popirin is ready for this tournament and has a good chance of winning. Additionally, in the draw, Otaki has much more time to rest, while Russvori is already exhausted from the battle with Rublev, where all three sets ended in tiebreaks. Therefore, my prediction is Alexei Popirin.
In this situation, there is a difficult choice between Alexey Rublev and Emil Ruusuvuori. Although Alexey may be considered luckier, reason suggests giving preference to the Finn. Emil demonstrated impressive play in the recent tournaments and his results were better than Alexey's. Furthermore, Ruusuvuori managed to defeat other strong players, while Rublev lost to less dangerous opponents. For example, at the grass tournament in Hertogenbosch, Emil was able to defeat Jannik Sinner, who was in the top 10 at that time, while Rublev failed to accomplish this task. Taking all these factors into account, it can be concluded that Ruusuvuori has a better chance of winning this match. My prediction: Ruusuvuori wins.
