Borna Coric is a former champion at this event back in 2018, beating Roger Federer in the final. That run seems like a bit of a flash in the pan though with the Croat never really doing that much on the surface elsewhere. A focused Bublik is the favorite here and it seems likely that the Kazakh will actually be determined here. He usually is on the lawn.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Bublik in 3<\/em><br \/>\n<a id=\"0z-sk7kjQoJbqtdGHK5wRA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1258669290\" 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:'0z-sk7kjQoJbqtdGHK5wRA',sig:'jhRaAa7EVDtvzTl5j8vwYkSBVz3eQhcQucjZAnOG2mg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1258669290',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Louis Wessels vs Yannick Hanfmann<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Louis Wessels shocked everyone to qualify for this event, especially Zhizhen Zhang and Henri Squire, whom he managed to eliminate. This isn&#8217;t the worst draw in the world as despite Yannick Hanfmann&#8217;s form and his big game, he&#8217;s never really had that much success on grass. Is that likely to change this year? Probably not, but everyone expects him to progress here. Provided he brings a competitive level on the day, he should manage to make the second round.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Hanfmann in 2<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n[cta id=591 type=cta]<\/p>\n<h4>Richard Gasquet vs Jannik Sinner<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Sinner 1-0<\/p>\n<p>Richard Gasquet is a two-time Wimbledon semifinalist (2007, 2015) and while way past his prime, he&#8217;s clearly still capable of great things on this surface. In Stuttgart last week, he eliminated Stefanos Tsitsipas and made the last eight. Jannik Sinner&#8217;s early 2023 form has gone way a bit recently and while he did gather some worthwhile grass experience last year, he can still be vulnerable in these conditions. This should actually be very tricky for the Italian.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Gasquet in 3<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Peter van den Berg-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Richard Gasquet managed to take out Stefanos Tsitsipas in Stuttgart last week, can he pull off another wild upset in Halle?
