Day 3 in the Swiss town of Gstaad brings four intriguing Round of 16 matches, with seeded players and former Major finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas\u00a0all in action. As always, we here at LWOT will be breaking down and predicting every match for you. But who do you think will reach the next round?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head:<\/strong> First meeting<\/p>\n Raphael Collignon had a tough opening-round match, where he was a tiebreak away from crashing out. Having come through that contest, the Belgian should enter this match with full trust in his baseline game, as this clash against Lorenzo Sonego is likely to be decided from the back of the court. The Italian likes to employ an all-out attacking style, which can either take the racket out of his opponent\u2019s hands or self-destruct. I think Collignon\u2019s counterpunching can have success in this matchup, but ultimately I expect Sonego\u2019s experience to show over three sets.<\/p>\n Prediction: Sonego in 3<\/em><\/p>\n Head-to-head:<\/strong> First meeting<\/p>\n While Clement Tabur has done very well to reach this stage of the event after coming all the way through qualifying, Arthur Rinderknech enters this all-French clash as the favourite thanks to his experience on the ATP Tour. Rinderknech will have to be wary of Tabur\u2019s ability to grind out points on the slower surface, but if he serves well and stays aggressive from the baseline, he should come through this match.<\/p>\n Prediction: Rinderknech in 2<\/em><\/p>\n Head-to-head:<\/strong> First meeting<\/p>\n Despite this being a clay-court contest, the most important factor will be each player\u2019s serve, as both rely heavily on their first delivery. Yannick Hanfmann has the serving power and forehand to back it up, making him a tricky proposition for any player on this surface, while Valentin Vacherot\u2019s ability to hit winners and play aggressively from both wings also makes him dangerous. The deciding factor for me is that this is Vacherot\u2019s first match in over six weeks<\/a>, and if the contest goes the distance, as I expect it to, that should favour the German.<\/p>\nArthur Rinderknech vs Clement Tabur<\/h4>\n
