Corentin Moutet vs Learner Tien prediction

Corentin Moutet began the China Open with a comfortable straight sets win over Tallon Griekespoor, but fell at the next hurdle as he lost to Alexander Zverev, despite taking the world number three to a decider. A weeke earlier, he began his Asian swing with a run to the semi-finals of the Hangzhou Open, though his performances were not entirely convincing. A maiden tour-level title still alludes the Frenchman, but he has reached his highest ranking of 37 this season.

He will face Learner Tien in the second-round after receiving a bye. Tien coped with the quick turnaround from his final appearance in Beijing as he came from a set down to beat Miomir Kecmanovic in the first-round. The 19-year-old did not lose his serve after being broken in his first two service games as he won 4-6 6-3 6-4. He is a rising talent and is the youngest player inside the top 40 of the world rankings.

The head-to-head is 1-1 with Tien leading 1-0 on hard court. Those two matches have taken place this year, with the youngster defeating Moutet in straight sets in the third-round of the Australian Open, while Moutet won in Mallorca on his way to the final. Tien has momentum on his side, and Moutet is unlikely to provide the offensive weapons to truly overwhelm the teenager.
