THE PREDICTION

World number 32 Tomas Martin Etcheverry made full use of an out-of-sorts Andy Murray to coast through to the second round with a straight-sets victory on Monday. The 24-year-old is at his best on clay, on which he reached the quarter-finals at Roland-Garros last summer, but he has proven himself a combative, uber-fit competitor across surfaces over the past 12 months and he should not be underestimated in this first encounter with Gael Monfils. Former world number six Monfils grabbed an impressive no-nonsense win over Yannick Hanfmann on Monday to conserve the energy he will require for this likely lengthy battle. The 37-year-old won the 12th ATP title of his long career at the Stockholm Open last October to crown an incredible comeback from injury but he did struggle with the longer matches at the US Open. This match looks a strong candidate for five sets but the more sensible pick is backing both to win a set to leave the victor up to chance.

TIP: BOTH PLAYERS TO WIN A SET
