Raphael Collignon vs Aleksandar Vukic prediction
Raphael Collignon has been one of the most consistent players on the Challenger Tour across this clay court swing, with two final appearances in Monza and Bordeaux back-to-back, as the Belgian won the former and lost to Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the latter. He decided to compete on the ATP Tour in Geneva on the eve of Roland Garros, winning his first match against Adrian Mannarino but then losing to three-time slam finalist Casper Ruud.
His first-round opponent is Aleksandar Vukic. The Australian last competed in Bordeaux, losing in the second-round to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. Vukic has struggled overall this season, with 16 losses from 24 matches and seven defeats from nine on clay. He did make the quarter-finals in Adelaide, but that was right at the start of the year.
Collignon has a far stronger record on this surface, and he will be a clear favourite to win this one.
