ATP Brussels Day 4 Predictions

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Damir Dzumhur

Head–to–Head: Auger-Aliassime 1 – 0 Dzumhur

Damir Dzumhur wasn’t at his peak performance but managed to fight his way past 18-year-old Federico Cina in the opening round of the European Open.

Next, he will face Felix Auger-Aliassime, who made his comeback to the tour following a month off in Shanghai. The Canadian reached the quarter-finals in Cincinnati and the semi-finals of the US Open and now returns to a tournament he won in 2022.

Auger-Aliassime already has a title on indoor hard courts in Montpellier this season and won their only previous encounter also on this surface. He will win this.

Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 2

Nikoloz Basilashvili vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

Head–to–Head:  First Meeting

Nikoloz Basilashvili didn’t face any break of serve as he advanced in Brussels over Quentin Halys in straight sets.

Next, he will face Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who fired an impressive 39 aces to overcome Emil Ruusouvori in three sets. Although this season hasn’t been great for Mpetshi Perricard, his recent performances indicate improvement, having reached the round of 16 in Shanghai last week, including a win against world number four Taylor Fritz.

This will mark their first encounter on the ATP Tour, but they previously met earlier this season on the Challenger Tour, where Mpetshi Perricard won the Bordeaux final. Mpetshi Perricard’s serve remains a huge advantage indoors, and while it could very well determine the outcome of this match, the Georgian may well have an antidote to it as he did against Halys.

Prediction: Basilashvili in 3

Botic van de Zandschulp vs Eliot Spizzirri

Head–to–Head: First Meeting

Botic van de Zandschulp fought his way past Joao Fonseca to secure his first victory in five matches. The Dutch player fell behind in both sets but upped his game towards the end of both sets to claim a 7-5 7-6 win.

He will next face American Eliot Spizzirri who had a relatively easy first-round match, dominating Pedro Martinez 6-4 6-1.

Van de Zandschulp will take several positives from his match against Fonseca, but he faces a difficult challenge, especially if Spizzirri can replicate his first-round performance. Still, the Dutchman should win this.

Prediction: Van de Zandschulp.

Lorenzo Musetti vs Yannick Hanfmann

Head–to–Head: Musetti 2 – 1 Hanfmann
