Thiago Agustin Tirante vs Jacob Fearnley prediction
Thiago Agustin Tirante has not played since his third-round defeat to Pablo Carreno Busta at Roland Garros last month. He had beaten Pablo Llamas Ruiz and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the first two rounds of the tournament. The Argentine is at a ranking high of 52 in the world and enjoyed a fine clay court campaign, as he reached the semi-finals in Houston and the round-of-16 at the Italian Open.
His first-round opponent is Jacob Fearnley. The Brit has competed in three Challenger events on grass over the past few weeks. Fearnley began poorly as he lost his opening match in Birmingham to Rinky Hijikata, before a far more encouraging showing in Ilkley as he made it all the way to the final. However, he was unable to win the title after a straight sets defeat to Bu Yunchaokete. He then played in Nottingham but could only advance to the second-round.
Tirante lacks experience on this surface, and that may provide Fearnley with an opportunity in this match.
