Toby Samuel vs Zizou Bergs prediction

Toby Samuel will hope for a deep run at the European Open, and the Brit is currently ranked exactly 100 in the world. His best result of the season was a run to the semi-finals of the Eastbourne Open, while he has also won three Challenger Tour titles. 

He faces Zizou Bergs in round one. Bergs notched up the greatest win of his career so far at the Shanghai Masters last time out, defeating seven-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets. Bergs held his nerve in the second set tiebreak to win 7-5 7-6 (4), advancing to the round-of-16. He was unable to repeat those heroics against Tommy Paul. 

Bergs leads the head-to-head 1-0 after coming from a set down to beat Samuel in the semi-finals of Eastbourne this year, on his way to the first tour-level title of his career. Competing on indoor hard courts in front of a passionate home crowd, the Belgian enters as one of the favourites and should be heavily backed to advance.
