Zizou Bergs and Alexander Blockx will clash in an all-Belgian first-round match at the Libema Open on Tuesday. The two will be facing off for the first time, and the winner will meet fourth seed Alexei Popyrin in the second round. Check out our prediction below.

Bergs arrives for the game as the better ranked and will hope to make it look so on the court. However, he comes into this encounter low in confidence, having suffered four straight defeats.

The latest of them was a first-round elimination at Roland Garros, which left him with a 19-13 record for the season. Grass isn’t his most preferred surface, but he has to push for a win here to at least match his 2024 finish at Hertogenbosch.

Blockx arrive for this fixture ranked 82 places behind Bergs. However, he will be positive about his chances here, having already had a feel of grass court action.

After his elimination early in the French Open, the Belgian headed out to the Birmingham Challenger, where he also lasted one round. At Hertogenbosch, he started off with wins in the qualifying rounds, beating Max Houkes and Adrian Mannarino.

Two wins on clay will give him the momentum heading into this game, and without much to prove, the Dutchman will be looking to build on his six wins in the last 10 matches.
