Joao Fonseca vs Arthur Rinderknech prediction

Joao Fonseca won his first ever match at the Monte-Carlo Masters as he defeated Gabriel Diallo in round one. The teenager eased ahead after a comfortable first set, but Diallo fought back as he established a 3-1 lead in the second. Nevertheless, Fonseca hit back to win five straight games and seal a 6-2 6-3 victory after one hour and 25 minutes.

Arthur Rinderknech is his next opponent after the Frenchman recorded a comfortable win over Karen Khachanov. He won 79% of his first serve points and conceded just the one break point as he won 7-5 6-2.

Fonseca endured a tough start to the season, but his level has increased and he is starting to notch up victories on a consistent basis. The slower conditions provide him with time to generate pace on his groundstrokes and if he is able to dictate the early rallies, he will give himself a strong chance of winning against Rinderknech.
