Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Vs Marin Cilic Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?
The former world number five meets a former world number three in Marin Cilic, who won his 19th and 20th ATP titles last season at the Stuttgart Open and St. Petersburg Open on grass and hard. The 33-year-old has lost to form youngsters Miomir Kecmanovic and Carlos Alcaraz in recent weeks but he should have more than enough to extend his lead in this head-to-head record, currently standing at 6-2 to the Croat. Tsonga could trouble early on but this is likely to fall in two to Cilic.
Prediction: Cilic to win in staight sets.
