Millman has a solid (4-0) lead in their head-to-head encounters against Popyrin. He will be favoured in the upcoming match. All the more so because Millman has better hard-court stats this season than Popyrin.
The last three face-offs between the two men have ended in three sets. This match is likely to follow a similar pattern. Both Millman and Popyrin are in roughly equal playing conditions at this point of the season, so expect a fight in their upcoming head-to-head encounter.
Millman last took to the court in an official match at the end of June. Then, he took part in Wimbledon, which he withdrew from after the first round.
In total, John has 13 wins against 19 defeats this season. His best result came at the Delray Beach Open, where he reached the semi-finals, where he lost to Reilly Opelka (6-7, 7-6, 6-7).
Millman has lost in six of his last ten matches to top-100 opponents.

Popyrin last returned to the court in mid-June to compete in a grass-court tournament in Newport. He lost in the first round to Quentin Halys (6-7, 3-6).
