Holt, Brandon - Lestienne, Constant

San Diego ATP

The tournament is in America and I think the local Holt will perform really well here against the Frenchman Lestienne. Both players are playing very well on hard this season, but on current form I think Holt is better. Lestienne has risen a lot in the ATP ranking because in the last 3 months he won even 3 challenger tournaments and lost 1 in the final, so such a high ranking is a bit deceiving because the player is at challenger level. Holt is 6 years younger and has been playing in America for almost 4 months in a row, so here he feels like a fish in water, and the Frenchman will still need to adapt because he played in France 10 days ago. Holt plays well on his serve and very rarely loses plus, so I'm going with the same here, although the win is definitely up for grabs
