Nikoloz Basilashvili vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Prediction

Basilashvili is in red-hot form this week, and at +230 odds, he’s the value pick at the Chengdu Open. When the Georgian is in this kind of mood, where almost every shot coming off that racket finds an open spot on the court, then he’s almost unplayable. And it doesn’t look like he’s showing any signs of wear and tear after a long tournament in Chendgu from qualifying. I’ll take the Georgian to prevail. He’s playing some inspired tennis, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls this off.
