THE PREDICTION

Former world number six Gael Monfils beat Henrique Rocha in straight sets on Wednesday to look solid enough in his first clay match of the season. The 37-year-old typically finds his best level on hardcourts, with last season’s remarkable return from injury culminating in a 12th ATP title claimed at the Stockholm Open, but his overall form from the past eight or so months should see him cope well with the transition to clay.

World number 85 Marton Fucsovics beat Pedro Cachin in straight sets on Wednesday to get his Estoril campaign underway and the Hungarian can be a dogged competitor on any surface on his day. 32-year-old Fucsovics has needed top 30 quality to oust him from each of his last five tournaments to suggest this will be a close encounter but Monfils beat him from a set down en-route to that Stockholm title to take a convincing 3-0 lead in their head-to-head. Back the Frenchman to win outright, with three sets just-about likelier than two.

TIP: GAEL MONFILS TO WIN
