THE PREDICTION

World number nine Holger Rune is the top seed in Montpellier after breaking the top 10 for the first time late last season with a stunning victory over Novak Djokovic at the Paris Masters. The 19-year-old is the last player to have beaten Australian Open champion Djokovic on tour and his transformation from an up-and-coming clay specialist into an all-court contender last season was exacted in indoor hardcourt conditions like these in Montpellier. This match will mean a lot to Rune, who lost twice to world number 49 Marc-Andrea Huesler late last year including in the Sofia Open final. 26-year-old Huesler also saw his career change before his eyes in these conditions last season but it is hard to see Rune losing a third match to the Swiss since his life-changing moment in Paris. Back the Dane to win outright or risk a reasonably likely straight sets pick.
