Today's schedule of play in Rotterdam will feature many good players but none will be watched as closely as Stefanos Tsitsipas. His season hasn't been the best so far but he's staying positive about his progress early in his career. His opponent will be Hurkacz from Poland who is a tricky player to play against so the greek will have to be careful.
Another fascinating matchup will be between the 5th seed Fabio Fognini and Karen Khachanov. Neither player played much since Australia so it's hard to gauge who's the favorite. Their h2h is vague as well with both players winning one match. Nonetheless, you won't find a better 1st round matchup than this.
Andrey Rublev is returning to the courts as well after his epic run early in the year. He will play against Nikoloz Basilashvili who was once a formidable opponent prior to his recent struggles. The Russian should have no issues but indoors anything can happen.
The schedule of play will be concluded with a delight for the Rotterdam crowd. Dutch hopefull Tallon Griekspoor will try his best against Filip Krajinovic who has been in good form lately. He was only stopped in the semifinal by Monfils in Montpellier so he will look to build upon that result.
