Nikoloz Basilashvili vs Luca Nardi prediction
Nikoloz Basilashvili last competed on the Challenger Tour in Quimper last week, losing in the second round to Thomas Faurel in straight sets. The Georgian has lost three of his four matches in 2026, as he was unable to qualify for the Brisbane International or the Australian Open.
He takes on Luca Nardi in Montpellier. The Italian fared better in that Challenger event as he got through to the final, where he was defeated by Kyrian Jacquet in three sets. Nardi won four matches on the bounce, which was a step in the right direction after three successive losses to start the year. The Italian was defeated by Yibing Wu in the first-round of the Australian Open.
Nardi will hope to take that momentum from his run to the final last week into this event at the Open Occitanie, and he will be confident of a win over the out-of-form Basilashvili.
