The indoor season rolls on in Brussels as players continue to adapt to the faster European courts that offer lower bounces and require first-strike tennis. As always, we here at LWOT will be offering daily predictions for every match, ensuring you don’t miss a moment of the action. But who will advance?
ATP Brussels Day 3 Predictions
Quentin Halys vs Nikoloz Basilashvili
Head-to-head: Basilashvili leads 2-0
Quentin Halys will look to use his serve and steady baseline play to frustrate Basilashvili, who remains one of the most unpredictable hitters on tour. Halys is at his best when serving efficiently, while Basilashvili thrives on taking the ball early and flattening his groundstrokes for winners. The Georgian’s lack of match play this year could hurt him against a more rhythm-based opponent.
Prediction: Halys in 3
Damir Dzumhur vs Federico Cina
Head-to-head: First meeting
Damir Dzumhur has endured a rough season outside of his exciting battles with Carlos Alcaraz. Federico Cina, meanwhile, has spent most of 2025 making strides on the Challenger Tour and showing flashes of promise with his clean timing. Dzumhur relies on quick counterpunching and redirecting pace, while Cina prefers to build points patiently from the baseline. Expect a tight contest, but Dzumhur’s experience may give him the edge in key moments.
Prediction: Dzumhur in 3
Raphael Collignon vs Francisco Comesana
Head-to-head: First meeting
Francisco Comesana is more known for his clay-court prowess, using heavy topspin and consistency to wear opponents down, while Raphael Collignon has a flatter, more aggressive game suited to faster conditions. The Belgian impressed the tennis world with his breakthrough performance against Casper Ruud at the US Open and looked sharp again in his opening match here. Comesana did well to upset David Goffin in the first round, but if Collignon maintains the level he’s shown recently, he should have the upper hand once again.
Prediction: Collignon in 2
Jiri Lehecka vs Gilles-Arnaud Bailly
Head-to-head: First meeting
Local qualifier Gilles Bailly’s first-round win was one of the standout stories for the home fans, but this second-round test might be a step too far. Jiri Lehecka has quietly been performing at a top-15 level whenever healthy this season, showcasing explosive baseline power and composed shot selection. Bailly brings grit and great energy, but Lehecka’s heavier game and superior shot tolerance should be more than enough to see the Czech win.
Prediction: Lehecka in 2
