No previous meetings have taken place between Wawrinka and Cressy before this.

Wawrinka Makes Slow Start on Clay
Wawrinka has had his time on the slower clay surface in his career, but hasn’t quite made the kind of start he would have liked this season.
He had started off at the Monte-Carlo Masters with a first round win over Tallon Griekspoor but even that had taken him three gruelling sets. And it has been followed by back to back defeats.
The second round match in Monte-Carlo came against Taylor Fritz who overcame him 7-6 (10), 6-2 with Wawrinka withering away following a first set scuffle, before he lost his opener at the Barcelona Open.
Wawrinka went down to Luca Van Assche despite having taken the first set with utmost ease.
Can he turn things around in a tournament where he had made the quarterfinals the last time he had played?

Cressy on a Six-Match Losing Roll
It had been a steady start to the season for Cressy, who had made the second round at the Australian Open and then surprised Borna Coric and Holger Rune on his way to the final of the Montpellier Open.
He went on to win two of his next three matches indoors but since then, things have fallen by the wayside.
A loss in the second round at the Marseille Open has been followed by Cressy losing five more matches in a row including two on clay.
Cressy isn’t too much of a clay-court expert anyway but what makes it even more difficult for the American is his lack of overall form. And while he faces another player who has been ranked outside the top 80 for a while now, these lack of results would play a huge role.
Which is why why Cressy will be starting off a second favourite by some distance here.
Wawrinka v Cressy Prediction and Tip
Wawrinka is 2/5 to win this which is what we will be going with. On clay and in current form, the best we can expect is for Cressy to put up a fight in one of the sets. Might see Wawrinka win in two.
