Grégoire Barrère has been more active at the beginning of the clay court season but is not a specialist on this surface. His serve is not as effective on clay and he often faces break points. On the other hand, Thanasi Kokkinakis has a good winning streak and has already shown his prowess on clay this season. He serves well and creates more break point opportunities. Considering Kokkinakis' form and consistency, one can expect him to win the match.
