Quentin Halys vs Nikoloz Basilashvili prediction
Quentin Halys earned his first ATP Tour win since the Halle Open in Shanghai as he beat Mackenzie McDonald in straight sets. However, he would go no further as he lost to Jiri Lehecka in round two. It’s been a very poor year for the Frenchman, aside from a run to the semi-finals of the Dubai Tennis Championships in February.
He will face qualifier Nikoloz Basilashvili in the first-round of the European Open. The Georgian showed his quality in Chengdu, making it all the way from qualifying to the last eight. A title has alluded him in 2025, though he did make a final in Bordeaux on the Challenger Tour.
Basilasvhili leads 2-0 on the ATP Tour and 1-0 indoors, having beaten Halys at the Paris Masters in 2022. This match is likely to be dominated by the serving performances of each player, and it may head into three sets.
