Benjamin Bonzi came through a spirited Kamil Majchrzak in the first round but Pierre-Hugues Herbert on this court is a different ask altogether. Serve and volley execution is going to be key once again for Herbert and the way he&#8217;s started this week, expect Herbert to not let Bonzi settle at all.<br \/>\n<i>Prediction:\u00a0Herbert in 2<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"QXRlaYj1R95-7cb6tr43Sw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1354694217\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'QXRlaYj1R95-7cb6tr43Sw',sig:'6oMwR90s8yvuWuDn0L-a2p-UJ-80R7jF-2G1HJfnVKo=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1354694217',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Radu Albot vs Lucas Pouille<\/h4>\n<p>Head to head &#8211; First Meeting<\/p>\n<p>That was certainly a refreshing result to see. Lucas Pouille played with immense confidence in the decider set against a tricky opponent. The Frenchman seemed to be very comfortable in his game at times and that&#8217;s a dangerous proposition for the rest of the draw. Radu Albot <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2019\/02\/26\/radu-albot-itf-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">is playing well this year<\/a> and the Moldovan showcased that in the last two sets against Dennis Novak. Expect a close battle with Albot just clinching it in a tight third set.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Albot in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"DRmoc81VSHpTlN0f1L8S6Q\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1365991646\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'DRmoc81VSHpTlN0f1L8S6Q',sig:'u7oBP4w-LXpFiu7J5md7vFJGDJM59_m25pwUN3sRQhQ=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1365991646',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Tomas Machac vs Roman Safiullin<\/h4>\n<p>Head to head &#8211; First Meeting<\/p>\n<p>What an absolute treat of a match <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2022\/01\/05\/roman-safiullin-atp-cup\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Roman Safiullin<\/a> played in his first round encounter. The Russian&#8217;s game was there for everyone to see and his sort of breakthrough year continues. Tomas Machac came through a three setter as well and the young Czech is just starting to find his feet on the main tour. A very tough choice to make here but I&#8217;m going with Safiullin to continue to march towards a well deserved quarterfinal spot.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Safiullin in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"4qUsQdIASftBY94fVp_cTA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1365293019\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'4qUsQdIASftBY94fVp_cTA',sig:'W70HF_OUoQf2hVqnz37ubO5ulwLYvwPMJFakSiqSGvM=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1365293019',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Hugo Gaston vs Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/h4>\n<p>Head to head &#8211; First Meeting<\/p>\n<p>Hugo Gaston has a habit of punching above his weight and Stefanos Tsitsipas would be wise to be wary of that. The Greek though is No. 4 in the world and is coming off a final appearance in Rotterdam. Post injury, he seems to be close to his best with a semi final showing in Melbourne. Gaston can unsettle Tsitsipas for a set but it&#8217;s tough to see him outplaying the Greek over three sets.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Tsitsipas in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"5xUjgrO_TS5zyrryFj3FMw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1370392130\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'5xUjgrO_TS5zyrryFj3FMw',sig:'zfL08icCcxCG-4iHAaPqhh9-B5-J7MH7bvCtHGrAd7M=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1370392130',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Jo-Wilfried Tsonga<\/h4>\n<p>Head to head &#8211; First Meeting<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2022\/02\/13\/felix-auger-aliassime-stefanos-tsitsipas-to-capture-maiden-atp-title-in-rotterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">F\u00e9lix Auger-Aliassime is the man in form <\/a>and is the title favorite in Marseille. The Canadian finally won his first career title and that should free Auger-Aliassime&#8217;s mind even more. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga put up a solid performance and it was great to see but the Canadian is young and close to the best he&#8217;s ever played. Expect Tsonga to struggle to be consistently attacking against the heavy ball striking of Auger-Aliassime.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo from Getty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five extremely exciting Round of 16 matches are on the slate for Day 4 of the ATP Marseille Open 2022.
