THE PREDICTION

29-year-old Gregoire Barrere set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 55th this week after a strong run to the third round of the Italian Open saw him come back from a set down to stun Karen Khachanov. The Frenchman will be well-backed by the home supporters here in Lyon and a strong win over compatriot Corentin Moutet on Sunday is a solid way to start his campaign ahead of this tough draw. World number 17 Tommy Paul is an excellent all-courter but he has yet to win a tour-level match on clay this swing, despite finishing runner-up to Andy Murray at a Challenger in Provence earlier this month. The 26-year-old changed the course of his career with a run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open back in January but more recently he has struggled to match that intensity. A first meeting between the two seems likely to need a decider in these conditions and that makes taking Paul to earn at least a set the cautious move and Barrere to do so the reasonable risk.
