Predicted Winners in BOLD
COURT RAINIER III (11 a.m. start)
[11] Lucas Pouille (FRA) vs. Ryan Harrison (USA) H2H – The surface likely favors Pouille even if his 2017 has not been sparkling to this point.
[7] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs. [Q] Adrian Mannarino (FRA) H2H – Tsonga has had some big wins in 2017.
[2] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs. Gilles Simon (FRA) H2H – This can be a tricky match if Simon starts eliciting errors from Djokovic. Still, Djokovic is the clear favorite.
[10] David Goffin (BEL) vs. Nicolas Almagro (ESP) H2H – This is closer to a 50-50 match than Goffin would like it to be.
COURT DES PRINCES
Gilles Muller (LUX) vs. [PR] Tommy Robredo (ESP) H2H – On clay, I like Robredo in this match-up.
Benoit Paire (FRA) vs. [PR] Tommy Haas (GER) H2H – I’d love to take two protected rankings in a row, but I don’t think it happens.
[WC] Borna Coric (CRO) vs. [WC] Jeremy Chardy (FRA) H2H – Coric has some momentum and good feelings. Chardy is dangerous if he can dictate play, but I think Coric clips him.
[16] Pablo Cuevas (URU) vs. Joao Sousa (POR) H2H – Match of the day?
COURT 2
[Q] Jan-Lennard Struff (GER) vs. [WC] Casper Ruud (NOR) H2H
Karen Khachanov (RUS) vs. Nicolas Mahut (FRA) H2H – I have a soft spot for Mahut.
Feliciano Lopez (ESP) vs. Daniil Medvedev (RUS) H2H
COURT 9
Paolo Lorenzi (ITA) vs. Marcel Granollers (ESP) H2H
Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) vs. [Q] Carlos Berlocq (ARG) H2H – This should be a fun match.
COURT 11
Federico Delbonis (ARG) vs. Robin Haase (NED) H2H
Mischa Zverev (GER) vs. Jiri Vesely (CZE) H2H
