Cameron Norrie will play fellow unseeded player Roberto Carballes Baena in the opening round at the Moselle Open. This is their third career meeting and the winner will play third seed Grigor Dimitrov next. Here's our prediction for the match.

Cameron Norrie arrives in desperate need of a win as he has lost four straight matches. A positive for him though, is that none of these defeats has been on an outdoor hardcourt.

The Briton is a superb hardcourt player and so far this season has compiled a 7-4 record on the surface. Norrie has won half of the 40 matches he has played this season and is placed 57th in the live ranking. The 29-year-old defeated Baena on clay in Rome three years ago.

Roberto Carballes Baena also has one win on clay against Norrie. He won their first career matchup back in 2018. The Spaniard arrives for this match having lost his last two fixtures.

He was defeated in the opening round in Paris as a lucky loser last time out. Baena, who has alternated between the tour and challenger circuits, has compiled a 37-30 record.

Most of his wins have been on clay, but on hardcourts he has again struggled. Currently placed 56th in the live ranking, Baena has compiled a 10-12 hardcourt record.
