Richard Gasquet will play in Metz as a wildcard and will begin his campaign against the unseeded Thiago Monteiro. The winner of their first-ever matchup will play Alex Michelsen or Harold Mayot in the second round. Below is our prediction for this match.

Richard Gasquet is seeking to snap a two-match skid. The veteran Frenchman lost in the first round of the Paris Masters last time out. Returning to a tournament he has found success in in the past, could be just what he needs.

Gasquet is a former Metz finalist and has at least six times made it to the quarter-finals. He has compiled a nervy 32-31 record alternating between the tour and challenger circuits. Gasquet is currently placed 133rd in the live ranking.

Thiago Monteiro has also stuttered in recent weeks and arrives for this match having lost four of his last five matches. The Brazilian has lost both of his hard-court fixtures. He is coming off a qualifying round loss at the Bratislava Challenger.

Monteiro has compiled a 36-25 record, claiming 31 of his wins on clay. He has played in the main draw at 10 tour events, suffering first-round defeats in half. In his career, Monteiro has managed to compile a 76-79 record on hard courts.
