This should be a fun one with Adrian Mannarino, the new French #1 at 34-years-old, possessing some of the most unique strokes on the circuit, while the Argentinian is a rather one-dimensional baseliner. What effect will Mannarino&#8217;s game have on Cachin? It&#8217;s hard to say, but it&#8217;s possible that the 27-year-old could get a little lost in this matchup.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Mannarino in 3<br \/>\n<a id=\"Yco7xxUFRUhE3_63E9VBXA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1243568521\" target=\"_blank\" 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:'Yco7xxUFRUhE3_63E9VBXA',sig:'ngO6TeqQh130KbG_hhc0VY0BaDAc076uqyp05VBGSWs=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1243568521',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/em><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j\">Nuno Borges vs Albert Ramos Vinolas <\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Both players have had very clay-oriented schedules this year, but Nuno Borges is much more comfortable on other surfaces. His aggressive strokes require a bit of time to set up, but that shouldn&#8217;t be too much of a problem on slower hard courts. This is a big opportunity for Borges, but he&#8217;ll need to be on top of his game. Even if slightly out of his element, Albert Ramos Vinolas is a player with high tennis IQ, who&#8217;ll try everything to stop his opponent from finding the right rhythm. Ultimately though, the Spaniard is not the force he once was. Expect Borges to just about have the edge here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Borges in 3<br \/>\n<a id=\"T_n68koqRSVzcXRKRtNZkg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1432897146\" target=\"_blank\" 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:'T_n68koqRSVzcXRKRtNZkg',sig:'aZPLtjMkwH0zw5z1gWdfMUB-Kd20DA4xA_FYJXvdOW0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1432897146',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/em><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j\">Luca Nardi vs Corentin Moutet<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Luca Nardi played a fantastic match in Astana against Stefanos Tsitsipas, coming up just short as the Greek made use of his greater power, especially on serve. But that match demonstrated that the Italian has a lot of natural talent and, despite not being that strong physically, he finds ways to stay on top of the points and play aggressively. Corentin Moutet had a great run of form at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2022\/09\/19\/challenger-tour-weekly-humbert-thiem-rennes\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">beginning of September<\/a>, but he might be vulnerable to an upset here after three successive second-round exits.
