Raphael Collignon vs Nishesh Basavareddy prediction
Raphael Collignon last competed at a Challenger event in Bonn, reaching the semi-finals but coming up short against Timofey Skatov. The Belgian mostly competes on clay, and this will be his first outdoor hard court tournament since failing to make it out of qualifying for the Australian Open at the start of the year in January.
Nishesh Basavareddy qualified for this tournament after straight set wins over Alex Rybakov and Tristan Schoolkate. The young American picked up his first ever Masters 1000 victory in Cincinnati just a little over a week ago against Aleksandar Vukic but lost 6-3 6-3 to world number three Alexander Zverev in the second-round. His best result of the season occurred right at the start of the year as he reached the semi-finals in Auckland.
Basavareddy has some momentum after his recent victories and will be the favourite against Collignon, despite being ranked two places further down in the world rankings.
