Luca Van Assche vs Patrick Kypson prediction
Luca Van Assche was handed a wildcard for the French Open, but he is struggling in terms of results at the moment and is currently on a five-match winless run. He did begin his season with two Challenger titles, but his results on clay, other than a quarter-final appearance at the Grand Prix Hassan II, have been poor. He has lost seven of his 12 matches on the surface.
He takes on Patrick Kypson in round one. The American qualified for the Italian Open in his last event, losing to Aleksandar Vukic in his first-round match. His best result of the season was a semi-final appearance at a Challenger event in San Diego, but he has a negative win-loss record in 2026 overall, with 16 losses from 28 matches.
Neither player is a heavy favourite for this match, and there could be momentum shifts between the two. This may be decided in four or five sets.
Luca Van Assche vs Patrick Kypson tip: Over 3.5 sets
