Diego Schwartzman vs Arthur Rinderknech prediction

Schwartzman will be the favorite to win
Schwartzman will be the favorite to win

Schwartzman will enter the match as the favorite to win given his ranking and recent run of form. The Argentine has won only nine out of 18 matches so far on hard courts this season but he is capable of getting the better of Rinderknech.

He has a good baseline game and his groundstrokes are effective. The 30-year-old's speed and his ability to switch quickly from defense to offense should come in handy.

Rinderknech has a powerful serve and will rely on it for free points. The Frenchman cannot afford to make too many errors if he is to stand a chance of winning the match.

Eventually, Schwartzman should be able to get the better of Rinderknech and seal his place in the quarterfinals of the Tel Aviv Open.

Pick: Schwartzman to win in straight sets.
