Corentin Moutet is far superior player than Clement Tabur. It’s a battle of David and Goliath where Moutet will surely walk away with a victory over his country rivals. He defeated Rune in Italian Open and also won the first set to Jack Draper before facing the elimination. He existed for two weeks in last year’s Roland Garros and secured 8 main draw wins in the competition so experience is there for Moutet and it would be enough to counter Clement Tabur.
Prediction: Corentin Moutet to win in straight sets.
