Alex Molcan will try to take advantage of a favorable situation as he takes on Alex De Minaur, who retired from the championship match against Novak Djokovic at the Beijing Open with a groin injury just a few days ago.
Current Form:
Alex De Minaur is fresh off a final appearance at the ATP 500 Beijing. De Minaur racked up four wins in a row – including victories over Andrei Rublev and Hubert Hurkacz – before bowing to Novak Djokovic 6-7, 0-1 ret. De Minaur retired right after winning the first game of the first set due to tightness in left groin area.
Alex Molcan advanced to the second round with a three-set win over Federico Cina 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. Molcan, who also reached the second round of the 2026 Beijing Open, is 5-4 on hard courts in 2026.
The Matchup: Molcan defeated De Minaur 7-6, 6-2 in their first meeting at ATP 250 Lyon in 2022.

Our Alex De Minaur vs Alex Molcan Prediction
The Difference Maker: It all boils down to the status of Alex De Minaur’s groin/hamstring injury. If he’s no longer being bothered by this injury, the Aussie should be a clear-cut favorite to win. If he’s not 100 percent, Molcan might have a solid shot at an upset.
What to Expect: De Minaur hacks out a close win over Molcan. De Minaur’s top-10 pedigree should be enough reason to believe he can grind out a win against the upset-minded Molcan. However, Molcan seems like a solid bet to cover +3.5 games, especially if he can break De Minaur multiple times. Against Cina, Molcan had seven break point conversions off the back of 44 return points.
Fearless Forecast: Alex De Minaur wins 7-6, 6-4
Our betting prediction for Alex De Minaur vs. Alex Molcan: Alex Molcan +3.5 Games
