Among them is top seed Jannik Sinner, set to face his first Top 20 opponent since his return to the court. The battle for advancement promises thrilling matchups and unpredictable outcomes.
In the upcoming matches, Alex de Minaur will take on Tommy Paul. De Minaur holds a dominant 5-0 record against Paul, who showed resilience in his previous victory over Tomas Machac. However, De Minaur’s strategic gameplay and past successes against Paul indicate a tough challenge for the American player. With De Minaur’s adeptness in handling varied playing styles, he holds a slight edge in what is expected to be a closely contested match.
Next, Jakub Mensik is set to face Hubert Hurkacz, with Hurkacz leading their head-to-head encounters 1-0. Despite initial doubts surrounding Hurkacz’s form and fitness, he has capitalized on favorable circumstances in the tournament.

The clash is likely to revolve around serving prowess, with Mensik’s composure under pressure potentially tipping the scales in his favor.
Casper Ruud will challenge Jaume Munar, with Ruud holding a significant 5-1 advantage in their head-to-head record. Ruud’s recent successes, including a Masters title in Madrid, indicate his formidable form. However, Munar has proven to be a challenging opponent for Ruud in the past, pushing him to the limit in previous encounters. The match is expected to test Ruud’s endurance and mental strength as he aims to overcome Munar’s resilient gameplay.
The highlight of the day features Jannik Sinner against Francisco Cerundolo. Sinner, with a 2-2 record against Cerundolo, faces a crucial test in his campaign.
