[Tennis- ATP Marseille ]11.3/ 15:00 A.Rinderknech-A. Davidovich Fokina

The forementioned Fucsovics beat both of these guys last week in Rotterdam, just a fun fact. Here we've got a young up and comer in A.D Fokina against a slightly older young guy on his way to journeyman status.

A.D. is ranked 51 and is probably more talented while Rinderknech is ranked 125 and as stated is really just an average journeyman who may never crack the top 100. So why the pick? Well Rinderknech has been playing well recently, winning his first Challenger title a few weeks ago and having decent showing against some talented players in other events. He has a bigger serve than Fokina which will serve him well on this service and his return game is average.

On the other hand. Fokina hasnt played great the last few weeks and his ranking is bouyed by some good runs last year where he overperformed, most notably making the round of 16 at the US open. He's talented, but he has a very weak serve and is off right now.
