James Duckworth vs Benoit Paire: Preview
Benoit Paire‘s 2021 best results include reaching the Quarterfinals at the Cincinnati Masters, Swiss Open and German Open. The former World No. 18 has had an exceptionally poor season in Singles match-ups. His best results are in doubles tournaments, and they aren’t the best either. The out of form 32 year-old has been struggling to gain momentum and a victory at the Bulgarian tournament might be a turning point.
James Duckworth, contrastingly, has had a phenomenal season, playing at his career best. Having won the Istanbul Challeger event recently, Duckworth has been riding the wave on a successful season that included a Wimbledon Third Round appearance. The Australian has had wonderful form in his latest matches, and will be looking to maintain it as he enters the Round of 16.

James Duckworth vs Benoit Paire: Prediction
Duckworth enters the match with a career record of 21-19 on Indoor Hard Courts and 7-5 on Indoor Hard Courts in 2021. He boasts a 31-19 record across all surfaces in the season, compared to Paire’s 14-27. Paire on the other hand, has a career Indoor Hard Court record of 103-84, with a season record of 1-1.
Despite having won the previous match-up, the higher ranked Paire is not the favourite for the match, given his poor season. If Duckworth maintains his pace, a victory is very likely.
Prediction: Duckworth to win in 3 sets.
