A much-needed warm-up prior to the Olympics, Hamburg is one of the last ATP events on clay of the season. There are big names at the event, including Alexander Zverev and Holger Rune, with plenty of mouthwatering match-ups to sink our teeth into. As always at LWOT, we’ve tried to predict the outcomes of some of the matches taking place on the fourth day of action.<\/p>\n
The high-ranked wins are growing further and further away and, with it, Laslo Djere\u2019s ranking is descending. We\u2019ve seen a drop down to Challenger<\/a> level recently with middling success. Still, the stalwart can be a pain for anybody to put away but particularly for players of Fils\u2019 peaks and troughs. The Frenchman\u2019s forehand was born for this surface however and should ultimately see him through. [tgdcta items=”1″ id=”170466″]<\/p>\n Two in-form players that are tough to pick between. Zhizhen Zhang probably has the bigger upside of the pair but Flavio Cobolli is probably the slightly more comfortable clay-court player. It feels like one of those matches that\u2019ll go down to the wire. I\u2019ll pick Zhang to clinch it but not with complete certainty.
\nPrediction: Fils in 3<\/em><\/p>\nZhizhen Zhang vs Flavio Cobolli<\/h4>\n
Head-to-head: First meeting<\/h4>\n
\nPrediction: Zhang in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
