ARTHUR RINDERKNECH VS ALEX MICHELSEN PREDICTION

Arthur Rinderknech was somewhat fortuitous in his first round match as his opponent Tomas Machac withdrew from their match with the score at 6-7 5-3. His Czech opponent won the first set but was clearly struggling and then eventually withdrew in the second.

Rinderknech now faces Alex Michelsen who he has met once before. They met in Stuttgart on grass earlier this year and it was Rinderknech who won 6-4 7-5 so that will give him some confidence.

Michelsen had a major confidence-boosting win in the first round as he dominated Hubert Hurkacz 6-1 6-3. The big Pole was never at the races but Michelsen did not allow him the chance to get into the match.

The 20-year-old will be flying after that win and he will now fancy his chances of avenging the loss to Rinderknech from earlier in the year. Michelsen was excellent on Tuesday and we can see him following that up and knocking out Rinderknech despite the home support being behind the Frenchman.
