This should be an excellent, high-quality match. Some may say it's a coin flip, which I wouldn’t argue with. Both have had amazing years with multiple titles and are hungry to make another final and make their case for the ATP finals in Turin.

Felix was so impressive on hard court at the start of the season and has an attractive indoor record this year at 36-13, far more impressive than Bublik’s at 16-14. I’m picking Bublik here because he is finally playing with the intention and potential people have yearned for from his game for years. He is potentially peaking at 28 and has the chance to make his first-ever Masters 1000, and I think he'll capitalize on the opportunity.

I think Bublik’s current level can expose inconsistencies we've seen in Felix’s game since his breakout year, and even through the middle of this season. I also think Moutet and this French crowd have given Bublik some extra fuel and motivation...
