GIULIO ZEPPIERI VS ADRIAN MANNARINO PREDICTION
World number 22 Adrian Mannarino struggles to enjoy the same buzz as other French players do at Roland-Garros, with his unorthodox game totally unsuited to clay.
The 35-year-old has enjoyed the best 12 months of his career overall, winning three ATP titles in the second-half of last season and reaching the round of 16 at the Australian Open in January, but his loose-stringed lefty game is based around redirecting opponents’ power and that is seriously hampered on this slowest surface.
22-year-old Giulio Zeppieri will fancy his chances against Mannarino, who has never made it past the second round in Paris, after a solid qualifying campaign last week. The Italian upset Alexander Bublik in five sets this time last season before taking eventual runner-up Casper Ruud to four sets and he can be expected to cause a not-so-upset in taking out the 22nd seed.
