ATP Den – Former semifinalist Felix Auger-Aliassime is back at ATP 250 Den Bosch for the first time since 2022, starting Day 4 against Marton Fucsovics. Other matches to watch include Adrian Mannarino vs Arthur Rinderknech and Tallon Griekspoor vs Zhizhen Zhang, with ea
Day 4 in Den Bosch starts with the kind of matchup that feels like a reset button. Felix Auger-Aliassime—former semifinalist and the Canadian top seed—returns to the ATP 250 in ’s-Hertogenbosch for the first time since 2022. His first test is Marton Fucsovics, and it comes after a French Open run that left him drained.
Auger-Aliassime’s quarterfinal exit came against Flavio Cobolli. While he had been a set and a break up. he couldn’t finish the job. and the defeat seemed to weigh on him as much emotionally as it did physically. Now comes grass—an environment that should reward the clean ball striking he’s known for—and the question is simple: can he turn that loss into a statement?.
Adrian Mannarino vs Arthur Rinderknech carries its own momentum. Mannarino has been searching for his footing, extending a nine-match losing streak before the grass-court season began to finally end. The turning point was his performance against defending champion Gabriel Diallo. which ended in a way that still feels like it surprised even those familiar with his game. Mannarino’s low contact point and flat shots are exactly the kind of tools that work on grass. Rinderknech. meanwhile. has the firepower and the bigger serve to force his way back into any uncomfortable spot—but Mannarino’s style could be the kind that frustrates.
Prediction: Mannarino in 3.
Tallon Griekspoor vs Zhizhen Zhang features a head-to-head that has never happened before at this level. Zhang’s recent form has been uneven for much of a year. but his confidence is higher right now after a superb three-set win over Jenson Brooksby. That was also his first main draw win at the ATP level since Houston at the end of March. Griekspoor arrives with his own inconsistencies across the year. but he’s viewed here as the more settled and reliable competitor—especially with home support behind him. which matters when matches tighten.
Prediction: Griekspoor in 3.
Then there’s the main event: Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Marton Fucsovics. Their head-to-head stands at Auger-Aliassime 4-2 Fucsovics. The Canadian will want that margin to translate into action quickly—because the way he was beaten at the French Open still lingers. Yet grass is the surface where his game tends to look most alive. and it’s the reason this matchup feels like more than just another first-round swing.
Fucsovics isn’t the type to be pushed aside. He has the experience to trouble players on grass. and he already delivered a high-quality performance in his first round against Hubert Hurkacz. Even so. Auger-Aliassime has the higher ceiling. and with this being a surface that should bring out some of his best tennis. the expectation is that he responds.
Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 2.
The matchups on Day 4 don’t just ask who can win—they ask who can translate momentum under pressure. Mannarino is trying to make grass carry him forward after a long drought. Griekspoor has the comfort of home-court rhythm. And Auger-Aliassime is trying to prove that a heartbreak at the French Open was a detour, not a direction.
For who advances to the quarterfinals, the answers start now—with Auger-Aliassime’s return to Den Bosch sitting at the center of it all.
