Gilles Muller vs John Millman Tennis Prediction

Gilles Muller ended his five-match losing run by defeating Denis Shapovalov in the first round of ATP London last week, but he could not add more wins as he was knocked out in the second round by the eventual champion Marin Cilic.
Former world #21 Gilles Muller, who usually take a one week break before Wimbledon, will be making his debut at Eastbourne this week as he seeks for confidence boosting run before entering Wimbledon, where he’s got to defend the quarterfinal points.
After failing to defend his title and semifinal points at Hertogenbosch and London in the last two weeks, Gilles Muller will be desperate to earn some ranking points at Eastbourne this week. The 2017 Wimbledon quarterfinalist is having a terrible season so far in 2018, having gone 8/14 in the opening six months of the season. The last time he finished a season with minus w/l ratio was back in 2013 when he played only 22 matches (7/15).
John Millman opened his account on grass this season by defeating Nicolas Mahut and Marius Copil in the qualifying stages of ATP London last week. Unfortunately, he was drawn against the eventual runner-up Novak Djokovic in the first round, 2-6 1-6.
The Australian entered ATP Eastbourne once in 2012 but could not get out of the qualifying stages, losing the final qualifying match to Paul Henri Mathieu, 3-6 2-6.
Though John Millman suffered first-round defeat in his recent four tournaments (London, Stuttgart, French Open and Heilbronn 2 Challenger), he would probably be satisfied with his performances and results during the clay season, where he recorded his career-best result by finishing as the runner-up at Budapest.
Gilles Muller leads the H2H 2-1, but this will be their first meeting on grass. This is an excellent opportunity for both these players to register their first main draw win in Eastbourne as Gilles Muller (better player on grass) is in a terrible form at the moment while John Millman (in better form) hasn’t got a great record on grass.

Tennis Prediction: Gilles Muller
Odds: 1.55
