We're guaranteed a French win in this first round match in Montpellier. Sixth seed Arthur Flls faces unseeded Valentin Royer for a place in round two of this indoor hard court tournament. Time for our match prediction,
The winner of this indoor hard court match will take on either a qualifier or lucky loser in the last 16.
Both of these players are still waiting for their first win of 2026. Fils has a good excuse as this is his first tournament since last August due to a back injury. His last match was a third round loss to Jiri Lehecka in Toronto.
Last year saw Fils play only three indoor hard court matches, winning two of them. Three outdoor hard court quarter-finals were reached in 2025, including Masters tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami. He's 42nd in the live rankings.
Valentin Royer is playing his fourth match of the year and has lost all of his previous three. Losses have come in Hong Kong, Auckland and the Australian Open. In that Grand Slam, he took a set off Taylor Fritz but lost in four.
Each of his last six matches have now been lost but he's a career-high 56th in the live rankings.
We tip Fils to win this match.
