Valentin Royer, a lucky loser in Basel, has made it to the second round, where he is set to face ninth seed Denis Shapovalov. This is their second meeting of the season. Read for our prediction for this match.
Valentin Royer defeated Raphael Collignon in straight sets in the first round. It was a strong response after he was earlier beaten in the qualifying rounds.
The Frenchman, who is making his Basel debut, is seeking to win back-to-back matches at a tour event for the second time this season. Royer, who has alternated between the tour and challenger circuits, produced a runner-up finish in Hangzhou.
Having improved to 60-27, Royer has shot up 10 places to 59th in the live ranking.
Denis Shapovalov defeated Royer when they first met two months ago at the US Open. He won what was a second-round showdown in four sets and will be keen to double his advantage.
The Canadian, a quarter-finalist here last season, has improved to 25-20 after his opening round victory. He had to dig deep, though, to get the better of Marcos Giron, who had won the opening set via a tiebreak.
Shapovalov, an indoor hard court specialist, has won two titles this season and made the semi-finals in another two events.
