Watanuki has arguably already jumped over the head at the current tournament in Lyon. The Japanese has beaten Pedro Martinez and Kwon and will play in the quarter-finals of such a major tournament for the first time this season. There are no expectations for his performance in the upcoming match against De Minaur. The Australian is definitely the stronger player in this pairing and he should easily beat Watanuki in two sets.
Watanuki is the real sensation of the current competition in Lyon. The Japanese initially qualified for the main draw but lost in the final to Gregoire Barrere (3-6, 6-3, 3-6).
Nevertheless, he got into the main draw as a lucky loser and now he is making the most of his second chance. In the first round, Watanuki overcame Spaniard Pedro Martinez (6-7, 6-4, 6-2), then took on Kwon Soon-woo of Korea (6-3, 6-4) in the second round.
Watanuki has recorded three wins in his last five fights against higher-ranked opponents.
