Another selection from Andy Schooler and I like his thinking here. 19 year old Tien was excellent against Medvedev but that match didn’t finish to 3am and was a 2nd 5 setter on the spin.
Not to mention the 3 matches he played in qualifying just to make this round. If Moutet can keep him running around the court for 3 hours plus then you have to favour the Frenchman.
He finished last season well with a run to the semi finals in Metz and has recorded two excellent wins this week. Evens looks a good bet. Available with Dee.
1pt – Moutet to beat Tien – 2.0
