As expected, Kotov proved stronger than Marton Fucsovics, and it was surprising that the bookmakers made the Hungarian such a big favorite. The match between Pavel and Marton lasted one hour and 54 minutes, with Kotov winning 6:3, 7:6. During the match, Kotov served twice with three double faults and won 71% of the points on his first serve and 58% on his second. Return statistics: 39%/44%. Before knocking Fucsovics out of the tournament, Kotov was stronger than Bulgaria's Lazarov. Before the match in Bulgaria, Kotov reached the final of the Stockholm tournament, where he lost to Monfils in three sets.

Mannarino failed in Stockholm, Basel, and Paris before Sofia, winning just one match in those three tournaments and losing three to Monfils, Harry, and Van de Zandschulp. In Bulgaria, Adrian won two matches against Ramos and Ofner. The match against Austrian Ofner lasted two hours and 40 minutes, and Adrian won 6:7, 6:4, 6:3. During the match, Mannarino made 7 aces and one double fault, winning 65% of the points on the first serve and 60% on the second. Return statistics: 30:66%.

Mannarino is undoubtedly a more professional player, but the Frenchman is overrated in this match. Adrian did not look his best at the Indoors, and Mannarino faced no severe opponents in Bulgaria. Kotov has improved a lot lately, reached the final of the Stockholm tournament, and looked good in Bulgaria. Pavel will give Adrian a lot of problems today, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the Russian in the final.
