"Norrie recovered from a terrible second set and held his nerve slightly better to triumph 6-3 0-6 7-6."
Blockx arrives with momentum, having won a Challenger Tour title in Bratislava. Despite the quick recovery, his youth and straight-set victories in his semifinal and final should boost his confidence.
Passaro showed strong form by winning both qualifying matches in Paris. Although talented, Blockx’s current form makes him the favorite in their matchup.

"The notoriously temperamental Frenchman will try to get the crowd involved in this match."
Vukic brings more power to the court, yet Moutet’s variety and resilience during rallies could secure his victory.
