Fils is a significantly improved player since that defeat. There is no pressure on Lestienne, who seems to be nearing the end of his career, in this matchup. The 32-year-old proved that his unconventional style can still get results in a victory against Borna Coric in Montpellier last week. However, Fils is a more difficult challenge and one he is unlikely to overcome.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Fils in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Jan-Lennard Struff vs Fabian Marozsan<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: Struff 2-1 Marozsan<\/p>\n<p>Struff has won close matches against Marozsan in their last two meetings. The Hungarian showed considerable improvement in the last 12 months during a superb <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/category\/australian-open\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Australian Open<\/a> victory against Frances Tiafoe last month. Yet, Struff is backed to win for a third consecutive time against Marozsan. The German&#8217;s game is slightly better suited to the conditions in Rotterdam, and his serve might pull him over the line.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Struff in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a  id=\"XoaYZPAuR_ditEKarMPDZw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2192902122\" 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:'XoaYZPAuR_ditEKarMPDZw',sig:'iPge2yPeI3xuUkUjMgrhS-Gyo4--lhHMhXuuKYnak4w=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2192902122',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Daniil Medvedev vs Mattia Bellucci<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Medvedev seems to be in a volatile place right now. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2025\/02\/04\/daniil-medvedev-parts-ways-with-coach-gilles-simon-after-one-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">He split with Gilles Simon before the Rotterdam Open<\/a> and has had angry outbursts in every match so far this season. Bellucci might sense an opportunity, especially after Learner Tien&#8217;s stunning victory against Medvedev at the Australian Open. It is tough to go against Medvedev at a tournament he has won in the past, and he might find his best in Rotterdam.
