Adrian Mannarino has had a strong start to the grass season and will hope to keep it going when he meets Conor O’Connell. The two will be clashing in the first round at the Libema Open. Below we have a prediction for the match, with the winner to face top seed Daniil Medvedev next.

Mannarino is actually playing in the main draw as a lucky loser. In the qualifying final, he suffered a 2-1 loss to Alexander Blockx.

After his elimination in the qualifying rounds at the French Open, Mannarino went straight into the Birmingham Challenger to start preps for the grass season. He lasted three matches there, his third-round outing ending in a 2-0 loss to Brandon Holt.

In these players’ only meeting so far, Mannarino claimed the win. He beat O’Connell 2-1 in Winston-Salem in 2022. O’Connell will be targeting revenge here, but in their current shape, that could be a target too big.

The Australian arrives for this match having suffered five straight defeats. He lasted just one match in Rome, Hamburg, and at the French Open.

When he transitioned to grass, the outcome was the same, a loss at the first attempt in the Birmingham Challenger. In his last five matches, O’Connell managed to win just one set – at Hamburg.
