THE PREDICTION
Former world number eight Diego Schwartzman is currently ranked at 133rd after a woeful past 12 months on tour. The 31-year-old took the first set from Alexander Zverev at the China Open last Friday before defeat for some encouragement but a six-match winning streak and a 9-21 record for 2023 certainly makes this first encounter Luca Van Assche’s to lose. World number 69 Van Assche is one of a few French youngsters rising up the ATP rankings but he has yet to produce his best tennis away from clay. A four-set defeat to Nicolas Jarry at the US Open was impressive last time out on tour, though, and he comes in with some wins under his belt after beating the likes of David Goffin and Alex Molcan in a Challenger event last week. Schwartzman is too good to stay this far down forever but that only serves to make his matches more unpredictable in the meantime., Back Van Assche to earn at least a set to avoid a full result.
