Prediction published on 23/05/2024, 01:14  by Daniel Ngulu in Tennis Predictions

Luciano Darderi will play fellow unseeded player Arthur Rinderknech in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Lyon Open. The winner will then play Dominik Koepfer or Tomas Martin Etcheverry for a place in the final. Luciano Darderi is making his Lyon debut and what a first tournament it is turning out to be. The Italian has won both his matches without dropping a set. To advance to this round, he defeated third seed and crowd favourite Adrian Mannarino by the loss of nine games. Darderi has played predominantly on clay and only two of his 37 fixtures have been outside the surface. He has compiled a 25-12 record and won his first tour title in Cordoba. The 22-year-old has moved up to 44th in the live ranking, a new career high.

Arthur Rinderknech is also coming off a big victory in the second round. The Frenchman defeated fifth seed Frances Tiafoe to earn his first straight sets victory in more than a month. A win against one of the top names in the Men’s game will have the 28-year-old confident of advancing to the last four. Rinderknech, who has equalled his best-ever result in this event by advancing to this round, has struggled with inconsistency. He has compiled an 18-15 record and has lost six of 11 matches on clay. Before arriving in Lyon, he had managed just one win in five outings. A one-time tour finalist. Rinderknech is yet to advance past the quarter-finals at a tour event this year.
