THE PREDICTION
It looked set to be a long match for Alex de Minaur against Richard Gasquet in the first round of the European Open and that is exactly what he got after losing the first set to the veteran. The 21-year-old world number 29 came through a close second-set tiebreak before rallying to win the decider and he will be glad of the early warning signs when he takes on another elder statesman of the game in Feliciano Lopez. The 39-year-old made quick work of his first round match against Tommy Paul and can threaten De Minaur here if the youngster loses concentration. The pair have one win apaice in their head-to-head and in a smaller ATP 250 tournament like the European Open this could come down to experience and motivation over De Minaur’s ability. Realistically, the Australian should come through this tussle, but it could take another decider first.
