ATP Stuttgart – Match Preview

Rinderknech A. vs Fucsovics M.

🧠 Form & Context

• Arthur Rinderknech 🇫🇷
  A rough 2025 so far, sitting at 8–18 with more downs than ups. That said, his first-round win over Shapovalov was a much-needed confidence boost—and his first grass-court victory this year. His towering serve and big forehand are tailor-made for fast courts, but inconsistency has plagued him, especially in longer exchanges.
• Marton Fucsovics 🇭🇺
  This tournament brings out the best in him—semifinalist in 2023 and consistent performer over the years. He’s already logged three wins this week (qualies + R1), so he's fully dialed into the conditions. Add to that a strong 26–12 record in 2025 and a gritty 5-set Roland-Garros battle against Tommy Paul, and you've got a man in rhythm.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Rinderknech will look to keep points short and unleash his serve-forehand firepower. On grass, that’s a recipe for danger—when it works. But Fucsovics is not easily bullied. He returns well, moves efficiently, and has the stamina and smarts to extend rallies and frustrate big hitters.

With three matches already in his legs this week, Fucsovics is not just fit—he’s fully adjusted to Stuttgart’s slick grass. If Rinderknech doesn’t land a high first-serve percentage or win easy points off his forehand, this could slip away from him.

🔮 Prediction

Fucsovics in 2 tight sets. Expect at least one tiebreak or a set decided by a late break. Rinderknech might flash brilliance, but over the course of the match, Fucsovics’ balance, experience, and physicality should see him through.
