Stefanos Tsitsipas and Luciano Darderi face off for the first time, both looking to restore confidence in their campaigns. The winner in this first-round match will face either Francisco Cerundolo or Alex Michelsen next. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Both players have won one title this season but failed to keep the momentum going, so here it will be a journey of rediscovery. Tsitsipas bagged the Dubai Open earlier in the year and hasn’t gone past the quarters since.

As he plots for a first-round win, the second round remains the big hurdle for the Greek player. All four of his appearances here ended in the second round.

Darderi won the Marrakech title at the start of the European clay swing. That remains his highlight moment, as he hasn’t made it past the quarter-final level on the tour again.

In fact, in the main tour, it is in the first round that he has suffered the most defeats (8). He had his best run on clay, rising from a losing run on hard courts to register a 17-17 record so far.

However, coming off three straight defeats will now work so much in his favor. He lost in the first round at Roland Garros and also last week at the Libema Open.
