The Serbian undoubtedly possesses slightly more talent on the dirt when he performs near his best. Rinderknech will try to get into as many backhand cross-court rallies as possible, but I feel Djere\u2019s formidable forehand will prove decisive in this matchup.<br \/>Prediction: Djere in 3<\/p>\n<p>Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Learner Tien<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Tsitsipas\u2019s triumph over <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2024\/11\/04\/giovanni-mpetshi-perricard-is-redefining-what-it-means-to-be-a-big-server\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard<\/a> was welcome after his poor recent form. However, that match against the huge-serving Frenchman will not prepare him for Tien\u2019s wholly different style. The rising 20-year-old is not entirely comfortable yet on clay, though, which gives Tsitsipas a better chance. The 2021 French Open runner-up is narrowly favored to win.<br \/>Prediction: Tsitsipas in 3<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Bublik vs Edas Butvilas<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Butvilas lost just four games against Lorenzo Sonego. Although the Italian was nowhere near his best, he still deserves credit for that performance. Bublik\u2019s form during the clay-court swing has been average, but his powerful serving and aggression match up well against Butvilas. Expect the Kazakhstani to blast his way into the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Bublik in 2<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Fritz vs Alexei Popyrin<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: Fritz 1-1 Popyrin<\/p>\n<p>Expect few break point opportunities in a matchup between two excellent servers. Popyrin\u2019s memorable run to the 2024 Canadian Open will also show how dangerous he can be at his best. Having said that, Fritz\u2019s game in 2026 is more complete, including on clay.
