ADRIAN MANNARINO VS LUCIANO DARDERI PREDICTION
World number 22 Adrian Mannarino received a bye to the round of 16 as the third seed here in Lyon but he is currently far from the form that brought him inside the top 20, briefly, at the start of the year.
The 35-year-old’s remarkable purple patch began around this time last summer, winning three ATP 250 titles and culminating in an excellent run to the round of 16 at the Australian Open in January, but he has struggled to match that intensity since and especially on his least effective clay.
22-year-old Luciano Darderi set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 47th after a strong run to the third round of the Italian Open, where he was competitive in defeat to eventual champion Alexander Zverev.
The Italian won his maiden ATP title on his favoured clay at the Cordoba Open back in February and he has reached two semi-finals on the surface at Challenger level in recent weeks to bring plenty of form into this first encounter with Mannarino. Back Darderi to win, probably in straight sets.
