Overview
- Previews published Monday set up Geneva’s first-round slate, with picks on Tsitsipas vs Mpetshi Perricard, Wawrinka vs Branaccio, and Michelsen vs Baez.
- The Grandstand notes Tsitsipas entered with a wildcard at No. 82 and picks him in two sets, arguing the slow clay helps him handle Mpetshi Perricard’s serve.
- Last Word On Tennis takes the other side and tips Mpetshi Perricard in three, pointing to Tsitsipas’ winless runs at multiple clay events and lapses in focus.
- LWOT spotlights Stan Wawrinka’s farewell season and backs the 41-year-old to beat world No. 240 Raul Branaccio in three with a lift from the home crowd.
- Both outlets lean toward Sebastian Baez over Alex Michelsen in three based on clay comfort, and LWOT also picks Tirante over Rinderknech, Sonego over Butvilas, and Comesana over Royer.
