He opens his campaign against a player he&#8217;s beaten twice before in as many meetings. Benjamin Bonzi has played at a decent level this year but the Italian looks too strong at the moment.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Sinner in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ldpFxMiKSmBJHTz6u-XoNg\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1246440344\" 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:'ldpFxMiKSmBJHTz6u-XoNg',sig:'nShUXk8Z4NekhJgqGemTVoeJcUEEZ0vl_-_Xz25Cx0s=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1246440344',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Alex de Minaur vs Andrey Rublev<\/h4>\n<p>Head to head &#8211; de Minaur 2-1 Rublev<\/p>\n<p>This is an interesting match to predict the winner. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2021\/01\/23\/andrey-rublev-rising-star\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Andrey Rublev<\/a> is seeded second here but has one of the toughest first round opponents possible. Alex de Minaur will fancy his chances as he&#8217;s beaten the Russian twice in three occasions but did lose the most recent one. Both players had a decent Australian Open campaign but the conditions here are fast which should suit Rublev more. Expect a slugfest of a match with the Russian just edging this one.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Rublev in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Wl2ymBisSxdKknCiwI76kw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1247059879\" 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:'Wl2ymBisSxdKknCiwI76kw',sig:'IQShGB0BvuOR48NFpK7LoAZhHoJ1VtvHzf0KB29Rspg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1247059879',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Round of 16<\/h4>\n<h4>Grigor Dimitrov vs Hubert Hurkacz<\/h4>\n<p>Head to head &#8211; Dimitrov 2-0 Hurkacz<\/p>\n<p>Another great matchup this. Both players have had time to settle in Rotterdam and judging by their first round matches, Grigor Dimitrov looks in great nick. Hubert Hurkacz did survive a titanic battle culminating with a third set tiebreaker against Roberto Bautista Agut and his task only gets tougher from there onwards. Dimitrov leads the head to head 2-0 winning both in third set breakers and in all likelihood this match seems to be heading that way. Expect Dimitrov to notch up a fine win here.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Dimitrov in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"idUNxVcETbB0oG9EIJIj8w\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1457591121\" 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:'idUNxVcETbB0oG9EIJIj8w',sig:'KW9JbMrPqRQMFIdl59QGkkc0mYpoPdfXTGBgFX3GLgw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1457591121',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Richard Gasquet vs Stan Wawrinka<\/h4>\n<p>Head to head &#8211; Gasquet 3-1 Wawrinka<\/p>\n<p>Both players have played some stupendous matches in their four match long rivalry and what a pleasure it&#8217;ll be to see one of those repeat itself. Stan Wawrinka is still hanging in there and is a treat to watch when he&#8217;s in full flight. The Swiss three time Grand Slam champion was certainly playing well in his first round match here and now a familiar foe awaits. Richard Gasquet has beaten Wawrinka three times and the 36-year-old Frenchman <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2022\/05\/25\/richard-gasquet-not-done-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">still has the game<\/a> to win titles. That being said, Rotterdam is probably not the place where Wawrinka should have trouble dictating points and that should be the key to this match.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Wawrinka in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo from Getty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2023 edition of the ATP ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam is nicely heating up with top players gracing the court in a very exciting draw.
