Sebastian Ofner vs Ivan Gakhov prediction

Sebastian Ofner will hope it’s a case of history repeating against Ivan Gakhov in Geneva.

The Austrian defeated the Russian 7-5 6-2 in qualifying for this tournament last year and looks to be getting back to his best after returning from a seven-month injury lay-off in March.

The current world number 143 has posted some solid results during the clay swing and notched a hard-fought 7-5 7-6 success over big-serving Reilly Opelka in qualifying here.

Gakhov has been battling away in the lower tier with some moderate success, but the world number 317 is unlikely to have enough to step up and find the consistency needed to upset an improving Ofner at this level.
