As always, we at LWOT have the preview and prediction for all matches at ATP Gstaad. But who will advance?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Gstaad Day 1 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Fabio Fognini vs Titouan Droguet<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Fabio Fognini&#8217;s run to the Wimbledon third round was surprising but shows he still has elite ability left in his racquet. He gets a tricky Round 1 draw in 23-year-old Titouan Droguet. The Frenchman is 19-7 in Challenger Tour matches this season and is looking for his second career tour-level win. Fognini still can beat virtually anyone on tour, but he is also susceptible to laying an egg. I expect that here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Droguet in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170476&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Hamad Medjedovic vs Marc-Andrea Huesler<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: Medjedovic 1-0 Huesler<\/p>\n<p>Hamad Medjedovic has a ton of talent. The 20-year-old Serb is on the brink of breaking into the top 100 and can potentially be a top 20 player down the line. Marc-Andrea Huesler will have the backing of the home fans, but he has played very poor tennis this year. I&#8217;ll take the young, talented Serb in a decider.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Medjedovic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"bZoU0wAYSMVErCHjjjdf6w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2152793574\" 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:'bZoU0wAYSMVErCHjjjdf6w',sig:'dEuRtLfAuhBeCf7Snul5BQgGX9_QBltelwCYMgruWCE=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2152793574',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Jan-Lennard Struff vs Albert Ramos-Vinolas<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: Struff 3-2 Ramos-Vinaolas<\/p>\n<p>Veterans Jan-Lennard Struff and Albert Ramos-Vinolas square off in a scintillating first-round battle at ATP Gstaad. Struff has played the best tennis of his career over the last 18 months, including a straight-set win over Albert Ramos-Vinolas last year in Monte Carlo. The Spaniard is 2-8 in his previous ten matches. Struff should be able to blast his way into the second round.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Struff in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170466&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main Photo Credit: Dan Hamilton &#8211; USA TODAY Sports<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the third slam of the season, 28 players have descended upon Gstaad, Switzerland, for a clay-court 250 event.
