Prediction published on 26/06/2023, 00:52  by Daniel Ngulu in Tennis Predictions

Sixth seed Richard Gasquet and unseeded Jordan Thompson will meet on Monday in the first round of the Mallorca Championship. Thompson arrives in Mallorca after his second-round elimination at the Queen’s Club. He has excelled on grass, winning eight of the 11 matches he has played on the surface thus far. This form saw him get to the final in Hertogenbosch. The Australian is having a terrific campaign and has two titles won, both in the challenger circuit. His 27 wins in 42 matches have him sitting in 71st place in the live ranking. Having defeated Gasquet in both previous encounters between them, Thompson will be confident of extending his streak here.

Richard Gasquet has stuttered on grass this season. He has won two of the four matches played on the surface, and lost his last two matches. His last match ended in elimination in the first round at the Halle Open. This struggle on grass has seen him to lose more matches than he has won this season. The Frenchman has won 15 matches and suffered 17 losses in the 32 he has played. His highlight of the season came in January when he claimed his 16th career tour title by winning in Auckland. He starts the week placed 49th in the live ranking. The winner here will play either Max Purcell or Felician Lopez next.
