THE PREDICTION
24-year-old Tommy Paul is up to a career-high 41st in the ATP world rankings after winning his first ATP tour title at the Stockholm Open, defeating defending champion Denis Shapovalov in the final. The American beat in-form Taylor Fritz, Andy Murray and Frances Tiafoe on his way to the Stockholm title and he has taken that form straight into 2022 with back-to-back quarter-finals reached in Adelaide this year. World number 180 Mikhail Kukushkin qualified well this week in keeping with some late strong form he put in at the Davis Cup Finals last season for Kazakhstan. The 34-year-old is a consummate professional capable of taking a set or even two here but in-form Paul should be winning this outright.
