Arthur Rinderknech vs Jack Draper prediction

Jack Draper marked his first match on tour since last year’s US Open with a confident victory over Quentin Halys. 

The Brit, who also triumphed in the Davis Cup earlier this month, dug deep in the opener before posting a 7-6 6-3 success.

The fourth seed now takes on another Frenchman in the shape of Arthur Rinderknech after the world number 31 edged to a 3-6 6-3 6-4 win over Fabian Marozsan.

This will be their second meeting and it may well come down to how Jack holds up in back-to-back matches as he continues his comeback from injury.

Back in 2022, the British number one claimed a 6-3 6-4 success over Rinderknech and it could be a similar story here, assuming it is too early in the draw for Draper to have an empty tank.
