CORENTIN MOUTET VS ALEXANDER SHEVCHENKO PREDICTION
World number 79 Corentin Moutet proved his credentials on clay once again with a brilliant four-set victory over Nicolas Jarry on Sunday, ousting the runner-up in Rome for the second time this season. The 25-year-old will be backed to the hilt by an adoring partisan atmosphere here on Simonne-Mathieu, particularly as so many French players have fallen by the wayside, and this looks a really thankless task for his opponent.
World number 59 Alexander Shevchenko overcame Aslan Karatsev in five topsy-turvy sets on Monday, building on a decent run to the quarter-finals of the Geneva Open. The 23-year-old finished runner-up to Ugo Humbert at the Metz Open late last season to get a taste of what playing the villain in France is like but it remains to be seen how he copes in this cauldron.
Back Moutet to reach the third round, with Shevchenko likely feeling that five-setter in his legs in today’s cold conditions.
