Holger Rune vs Kyrian Jacquet prediction

Holger Rune is back.

The Dane returned to action with two Davis Cup wins recently and now plays on tour for the first time since suffering an Achilles injury last October. 

The world number 188 meets Kyrian Jacquet for the first time with the Frenchman arriving confident after a semi-final appearance in Hangzhou. 

Kyrian is a late bloomer at 25, but he still only has seven main draw wins to his name and with Holger looking good in the Davis Cup, the feel-good factor may well carry him through here and make him a decent punt here.
