Arthur Rinderknech vs Alex Michelsen prediction

Arthur Rinderknech will bid to remain perfect against Alex Michelsen. 

The Frenchman leads 3-0 against the American in a surprisingly one-sided head-to-head that has seen him win all of the matches in straight sets.

This will be a maiden tussle on clay with world number 27 sitting just eight places better off in the rankings.

However, Rinderknech is statistically much stronger on clay which suggests this will be a tall order for Alex.
