Adrian Mannarino vs Alexander Shevchenko prediction

Adrian Mannarino enters the draw as a lucky loser following the withdrawal of Luca Van Assche. Mannarino was the top seed in qualifying but lost his second match to Toby Samuel, despite winning the first set. The veteran has been competitive during the indoor season, with impressive back-to-back quarter-final campaigns in Almaty and Vienna. He is a two-time quarter-finalist at this event. 

The 38-year-old takes on Alexander Shevchenko, who did successfully qualify after an impressive win over Jacob Fearnley in straight sets. His best tour-level result of the campaign was a run to the last four in Gstaad, but he is without a title in 2026, having lost a Challenger Tour final in Bratislava to Taro Daniel during the summer.

Despite his surprise qualifying defeat, Mannarino has a far more imposing record in these conditions compared to Shevchenko, and I do expect him to come through with the victory in the first-round.
