Raphael Collignon vs Jelle Sels prediction
Collignon has been in sensational form since June. He not only helped Belgium qualify for the Davis Cup Finals, but also reached the third round of the US Open on debut. The Belgian has great technical ability on the court and uses his serve to good effect.
Sels, meanwhile, has had a tough season so far. Apart from a runner-up finish in Cherbourg, he doesn't have much to show for this year. The Dutchman has been resilient in Vendee and will be eager to continue his form in the first round.
Collignon is the top seed this week and the clear favorite to come out on top. He should be able to settle in quickly and navigate past Sels in the first round.
Pick: Collignon to win in straight sets.
