On Thursday, there's no shortage of action as the grass-court season starts to gather momentum, and at the ATP event in the Netherlands, Belgian player Zizou Bergs may just have a better chance of beating the higher-ranked Alexei Popyrin than the early odds suggest.
This will be the Australian competitor's first grass-court match of the 2025 season, and he comes into this tournament having been defeated in straight sets by Tommy Paul at Roland Garros nearly a fortnight ago. The man ranked 21st in the world has had time to rest and recover, which is a plus, but he hasn't had chance to get a grass-court match under his belt, which is what sets the pair apart here. Zizou Bergs was unfortunate to meet Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the first round at the French Open, especially as clay isn't really his thing anyway, but he's put that disappointment behind him, beating fellow Belgian in the first round of this tournament. Can he now kick on?

Our Alexei Popyrin vs Zizou Bergs Prediction
Sure, Alexei Popyrin is ranked above Zizou Bergs, and it's not as if the Australian looked in terrible condition when we recently saw him at the French Open. However, he's not had the benefit of playing a match on these courts, whereas Zizou Bergs has. Moreover, he hasn't played competitively on grass yet this season, while in general, he isn't the most consistent grass-court competitor. In contrast, Bergs definitely enjoys grass, so much so that he looks worth betting on here. Our Alexei Popyrin vs Zizou Bergs Pick: Zizou Bergs to Win.
