The second meeting between the tennis players in the last two weeks. De Minaur faced Rune in Stockholm not so long ago and that match was won by Rune, who won that competition. In the upcoming match, we propose to give preference to Alex. Alex is an experienced tennis player, he will definitely work on his mistakes and play differently in the upcoming match.
