Arthur Gea vs Stan Wawrinka prediction
When Stan Wawrinka made his professional debut on the ATP Tour, Arthur Gea hadn’t even been born. Yet the Frenchman is now set to take on the veteran after his shock victory over Jiri Lehecka in the first round and momentum is very much in his favour as a result of such a notable win, the biggest of his career.
The big question now is whether that triumph was a flash in the pen or can Gea back it up with another big scalp in the second round. Wawrinka’s experience will see him armed with the gameplan needed to neutralise Gea’s strengths and it will be interesting to see how the youngster adapts.
Gea is in incredible form, has won his last nine matches and will be feeling invincible on court. But three-time Grand Slam champion Wawrinka is the ultimate pro who has so often faced challenges such as this and found a way to win. Either way, expect over 3.5 sets to be played.
Arthur Gea vs Stan Wawrinka tip: Over 3.5 total sets
