Prediction

Corentin Moutet has won four out of his last six matches. Meanwhile, Nagal has only two wins from five previous matches played on the ATP tour. Moutet has also faced the likes of Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic on the red dirt in the last few months.

On the other hand, Sumit Nagal also gave a tough fight to Russia’s Karen Khachanov in the first round of Roland Garros, especially in the third set. Moutet’s experience against top players will surely give him an edge over the Indian tennis star.

Prediction: Sumit Nagal to win in three sets.
