Quentin Halys vs Arthur Fils Prediction
Quentin Halys went through a gruelling five-set thriller in the first round, showing incredible resilience to come back from two sets down and beat home favourite Adam Walton. His reward is a showdown with his fellow countryman, who took out Otto Virtanen in four sets.
Fils is one of the most exciting young players at this tournament and his energy should serve him well across this game with Halys coming off the back of such a tough physical challenge in the first round. Having said that, Fils was the first to admit that he played nowhere near well enough vs Virtanen and will need to improve substantially.
The expectation is that Fils will perform stronger this time around, but Halys is a fighter and won’t go down easily. It would be no surprise to see another long, drawn-out contest and backing over 39.5 games may prove a shrewd play.
