The veterans, Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram lock horns with the team of Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer in a group-stage encounter at the ATP Finals on Thursday.
Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram
The second-seeded team has remained unbeaten so far in the competition. They would like to keep the streak going as they prepare to face the third seeds, Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer up next.
In the first encounter, Salisbury and Ram defeated the team of Marcelo Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in three sets 6-3, 6-7 (8-10), 10-8. The 2022 US Open champions produced an even better effort to stop the big-serving team of Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara in their second encounter. The match ended 7-5, 6-4 in favor of Ram and Salisbury.
Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer
The Dutch-Salvadoran duo has won one match and lost another so far in the competition. They will have to win their match to entertain hopes of progressing to the semis. A positive thing for them will be that they would know what they exactly have to do as the match between Heliovaara/Glasspool and Granollers/Zeballos finishes before their match begins.
They suffered a defeat in their opening match against Harri Heliovaara and Lloyd Glasspool in two competitive straight sets. The third-seeded team had to win their next match against Granollers and Zeballos. They managed to beat the Spanish-Argentine duo in three sets 6-1, 6-7 (3-7), 10-7.
Prediction
Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury will go into the match as the favorites. However, the must-win scenario might bring out the best in Arevalo and Rojer. One thing is for sure, the 2022 French Open champions and the 2022 US Open champions will certainly produce a riveting affair.
Prediction: Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury to win in three sets.
