🔍 Match Breakdown
Draper's lefty serve and clay-court improvement should allow him to control the tempo. Moutet will need creativity—slices, drop shots, angles—to disrupt Draper's rhythm. However, Draper's efficiency and Moutet's recent long battle suggest the Brit has the edge unless physical issues resurface.
🔮 Prediction
Prediction: Jack Draper to win in two tight sets. Moutet may grab a set if Draper starts slow, but overall the Brit's momentum, fitness, and mental stability should prevail.
