Via protected ranking, he qualified for the main draw defeating Zizou Bergs and Alexandre Muller, the latter a very good scalp against a form player. The Belarusian has got fire power for days on hard courts and will likely be dictating the majority of the points against the more clay-oriented player in Bernabe Zapata Miralles.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard&#8217;s defense will be difficult to get through with Gerasimov a little out of practice but we still think he can take this opportunity by the scruff of the neck.<br \/>\nPrediction:\u00a0<em>Gerasimov in 3\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"8NDoPAuBSbZLu1xdvu-51Q\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1392139225\" 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:'8NDoPAuBSbZLu1xdvu-51Q',sig:'n_IKQQ2TkQ5aQE63DI1LkT_2S1phQ2WPMF1zHkfXLCw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1392139225',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Corentin Moutet vs\u00a0Alibek Kachmazov<\/h4>\n<h4>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/h4>\n<p>Two great wins for Alibek Kachmazov in qualifying make him very difficult to underrate here. The Russian has a great game for indoor tennis that will surely test the abilities of Corentin Moutet.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Kachmazov would have preferred a player with a bit more firepower themselves, however. The Frenchman will have a good chance of disrupting the 21-year-old&#8217;s game with his incredible variety. Kachmazov may continue to grow in stature but give him a little time to really find his true potential.<br \/>\nPrediction:\u00a0<em>Moutet in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[cta id=4014 type=cta]<\/p>\n<h4>Roberto Carballes Baena vs Sho Shimabukuro<\/h4>\n<h4>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/h4>\n<p>Roberto Carballes Baena may have knocked Holger Rune out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/us-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">US Open<\/a> but, in truth, this was more down to the Dane&#8217;s performance than the Spaniard&#8217;s. Still, there are definite improvements to Carballes Baena&#8217;s hard court game, the serve having gotten a lot of focus over the past year or so.<\/p>\n<p>Sho Shimabukoro has made bigger scalps this year but, with the courts a little on the slow side, the consistency of the world #61 probably reigns supreme here.<br \/>\nPrediction:\u00a0<em>Carballes Baena in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"HWwhfiROQEJB88XZSiCdZQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1644677425\" 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:'HWwhfiROQEJB88XZSiCdZQ',sig:'7hLHjG-wd3QaHW1o8CFISN0b3CfPYP8ZOP-afJXeMas=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1644677425',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Adrian Mannarino vs Arthur Rinderknech<\/h4>\n<h4>Head-to-head: Mannarino 1-0 Rinderknech<\/h4>\n<p>The Adrian Mannarino train just keeps rolling. It&#8217;s arguably his best patch of form ever and he&#8217;s fresh off the back of two indoor wins in difficult match-ups (Purcell and Stricker).
