Richard Gasquet vs Marco Cecchinato
Set Handicap: Richard Gasquet -1.5 Sets, 2.04 on Pinnacle
Stake: 1u play

Richard Gasquet had some lingering injury issues earlier which forced him to pull out of a few tournaments but he's looked to overcome that in preparation for a tournament he has done well in during various years in the past. Cecchinato isn't really a hard court player and had a disappointing clay court campaign in 2021. Even though these guys haven't played each other I'm taking Gasquet who is the far superior player to win this match in two.
