On the grass 8/4 this year.He defeated players like Medvedev(61),Harrison(55),Monfils(37) or Sousa(44).He has been playing for the seventh time in this tournament.In 2015 and 2016 he was here in the quarter-final and last year he finished in semi-final.On other side Jordan Thompson(24) is on 101st place, his maximum was 63rd place.He had good result on the beginning of this year on the challengers but then he broke.He has negative balance of 3/5 on the grass.in his last 10 games he won only three matches. For example he lost to Ramamathan(161),Skugora(350),Vesely(73) or Stakhovsky(116).Here in first round won against Duckworth(663).All in all in my opinion Mannarino is better player on the grass surface.He won games with much more better tennis players than Thompson.Also the players have already clashed on the grass once last year.
