Hanfmann - Safiullin

Today's choice - the Czech Republic vs the solidly appearing Spaniard. Davidovich Fokina defeated Moutet in the first round of Toronto, but after a successful previous tournament, I believe this is where his period will end. The loss to A. De Minaur in the final required a lot of emotions. Meanwhile, Jakub Mensik took a break after Wimbledon and returned to his favorite hard court. The crucial factor is that Jakub suffered a painful defeat to Fokina in Australia earlier this year. So, two recent losses allow me to predict Mensik's first match against Peru in today's Toronto ATP Masters tournament.
