Guillermo Garcia Lopez vs Andreas Seppi Tennis Prediction

Surprinsgly, Andreas Seppi leads the H2H 7-1 including winning their previous two clay meetings, in the French Open 2009 and Monte Carlo 2007. However, both of these similarly ranked (GGL- 68, AS- 62) and similarly aged (34) players are equally capable of winning this second round encounter.

Andreas Seppi secured a big win by defeating the World #23 Kyle Edmund in the first round of Monte Carlo Masters on Tuesday, 6-3 5-7 6-2. It was the Italian’s third win of the week, having previously defeated Alex de Minaur and Marcel Granollers-Pujol in straight sets in the qualifying stages.
Seppi has won 17 matches so far in 2018 (17/8) with his only second-round defeat coming at the hands of Gilles Muller at ATP Sofia.
Andreas Seppi faced seven second-round exits from Monte Carlo during the period between 2005-2012, and he will be hoping to avoid yet another second-round exit when he takes on Guillermo Garcia Lopez on Wednesday. The former World #18’s only second-round win here came against a Spanish opponent, Pablo Andujar, in 2014.

Guillermo Garcia Lopez News

Guillermo Garcia Lopez lost his final qualifying match to the Italian, Marco Cecchinato in straight sets, but thanks to the late withdrawal of the eighth seed Pablo Carreno Busta, Garcia Lopez has not just received a lucky loser spot in the main draw but also a first-round bye.
The Spaniard has already played a handful of matches on clay in 2018 (6/5) and progressing to the quarterfinal at Sao Paulo, and Buenos Aires are his notable results.
Garcia Lopez suffered second-round losses in his recent two tournaments at Miami (Fernando Verdasco) and Marrakech (Richard Gasquet). His performance against Gasquet was particularly very poor considering Gasquet himself is not playing great tennis at the moment, and he will need immediate improvement in his performance level if he has to extend his stay in Monte Carlo.
