THE PREDICTION
French wildcard Enzo Couacaud finished runner-up to Thanasi Kokkinakis in a Challenger event last Saturday and the 26-year-old is set for just his second ever tour-level match here on Sunday against Egor Gerasimov. The Belarusian has been a difficult player to pin down this season but clay is certainly not his favoured surface and there is the smallest of chances for Couacaud to snatch a shock win on his Grand Slam debut here in front of a crowd supporting the underdog. Realistically this pick should be Gerasimov in straight sets but given the 28-year-old is riding a five-match losing streak take Couacaud to win at least a set on the biggest day of his career so far.
