The former World No. 4 faces Jack Pinnington for a spot in the quarterfinals. Who will advance?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Eastbourne Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Arthur Fery vs Juan Manuel Cerundolo<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Juan Manuel Cerundolo made waves at the French Open. He memorably defeated World No. 1 Jannik Sinner from two sets down. It was a result and performance that will live long in his memory. But this is now the most testing phase of his season. Before this week, he had never won a match on grass, but buoyed by his brother&#8217;s title success at Queen&#8217;s, the 24-year-old stunned Raphael Collignon in the first round. That said, Fery plays a more direct brand of tennis, and these conditions should suit his style. His record on grass is far superior.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Fery in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Daniel Altmaier vs Zizou Bergs<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: Altmaier 1-0 Bergs<\/p>\n<p>After last week&#8217;s high of reaching his first career semifinal on grass, the question was whether Altmaier would replicate that. He&#8217;s backed up that run by toppling Aleksandar Kovacevic in the opening round, and a quarterfinal spot beckons should he beat Bergs. The Belgian&#8217;s grass-court credentials include a title win at the 2022 Ilkey Challenger and a runner-up finish in Den Bosch last season. His steady level should be enough to halt Altmaier&#8217;s momentum at ATP Eastbourne.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Bergs in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\"><smartframe-embed class=\"smartframe_wp_element\" customer-id=\"b0c95bc04383cef69c6b47df872135cf\" image-id=\"WmOBNv9bNRe2\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 3508px; aspect-ratio: 3508\/2480;\" ><\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n<h4>Ugo Humbert vs Jenson Brooksby<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: Brooksby 2-1 Humbert<\/p>\n<p>This is a rematch from the semifinals a year ago. Brooksby rallied from a set down to beat Humbert. The Frenchman had a brutal opening match this week, where he survived Mattia Bellucci in two hours and 43 minutes. Humbert can look a bit less fluid when he\u2019s forced into extended rallies, and that is where Brooksby excels. The American has thrived in this matchup, winning their last two meetings. But Humbert&#8217;s serve still carries more weight, giving Brooksby less time to react and set up returns. It&#8217;s a question about consistency.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Humbert in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Jack Draper vs Jack Pinnington Jones<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: first meeting<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2026\/06\/21\/jack-draper-wimbledon\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jack Draper&#8217;s<\/a> partnership with Andy Murray got off to a winning start. The 24-year-old withstood a late fightback from Marcos Giron to prevail 6-4 7-6 at the ATP Eastbourne Open. Pinnington Jones, for his part, came from a set down to beat Argentina&#8217;s clay-court specialist Marco Trungelliti to progress. Pinnington Jones enters this match sitting at least 15 places above Draper in the rankings. But that is largely due to Draper&#8217;s absence from the tour because of injuries. When fully fit, there&#8217;s still a clear gap between them. And in terms of pure tennis, Draper is the superior player in just about every facet.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Draper in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey &#8211; Imagn Images<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack Draper continues his preparation for Wimbledon at the ATP Eastbourne Open.
