Tommy Paul vs Roman Safiullin Prediction and Odds: Mutua Madrid Open 2023

After many years both players will meet again, the first and only time they did it, they still belonged to the Juniors category. This time they will have their first head-to-head as professionals, and since a defeat is never forgotten, we expect to see a Tommy Paul fight to avenge the bitter result he suffered against Roman Safiullin. The winner of this match will have an easy path to the quarter-finals as only in that round could they meet a top player.

These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing.

Tommy Paul vs Roman Safiullin – Match Predictions

Here you are the best Today Tennis Prediction, and take note of the best odds for the Paul vs Safiullin feature, so the whole matches at Mutua Madrid Open 2023.

Tommy Paul to Win 2-0

This year the American tennis player is in a great level although he lacks consolidation against top players, as they are usually the ones who leave him out in most of the events. Even so, we expect Paul to dominate this match and he needs only two sets to win.

Safiullin to Not Win a Set 

We think that the Russian tennis player will not be able to follow the rhythm of his rival and from the first sets, he will give some breakpoints. The level of Safiullin this season has been very irregular so we think that he will not be able to win even a set in his duel against all Tommy Paul.

Tommy Paul vs Roman Safiullin Preview

The tournament is getting hotter after each round, so let’s see a preview to back up our Mutua Madrid Open Prediction.

Tommy Paul

This season, the American has had good results but has not been lucky enough to become a champion. The closest he came was in Acapulco where he reached the final and defeated great players like his compatriot Taylor Fritz, but lost in the final to Alex de Minaur.

Another great result for Tommy Paul this season was reaching the semeaachi-finals of the Australian Open earlier in the year. Unfortunately, Paul was up against Djokovic who, with an unmatched level of play, went on to become the winner.

Roman Safiullin

The achievements of the Russian tennis player this season have been very bad, because in important tournaments such as the Australian Open, Indian Wells, or the Miami Open he was out in the first round. At the recent Monte Carlo Masters 1000 he didn’t even make it past the qualifying round.

Safiullin only performed well in Koblenz, but this is a Challenger tournament. His memory of Victoria has been challenged by just three wins and two defeats.

Paul vs Siafulin Head to Head

You would have to go back almost 10 years to find the only good match between these two players. In 2014, Paul and Safiullin met in the first round of the US Open, but in the Juniors category. At the time, both were just 16 years old and it was Safiullin who advanced 6-4 6-3.
