THE PREDICTION
24-year-old Jurij Rodionov set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 114th last month after reaching the Surbiton Trophy final on the Challenger circuit, finishing runner-up to Andy Murray. The Austrian beat Zizou Bergs in straight sets in the semi-finals that week to look the favourite here and he should be aided by the change in surface as the more natural clay-courter of the two. World number 175 Bergs grabbed a huge upset over Laslo Djere on Monday, though, to throw a cat amongst the pigeons and he impressed in qualifying to suggest this is a very tricky match to call. Oddly, the pair have met three times on grass at Challenger level, with Bergs leading 2-1 after avenging his Surbiton defeat in Ilkley, but a first tour-level clash on clay should edge Rodionov’s way. The pair are playing Men’s Doubles this week in Gstaad just to add an extra layer of intrigue to the match but back Rodionov to earn at least a set as the likelier of two capable victors.
