J.J. Wolf vs Arthur Rinderknech preview
Lucky loser J.J. Wolf will take on Arthur Rinderknech of France in the first round of the 2024 Atlanta Open. Wolf is having a woeful 2024 season. The American has managed to win only one match on the tour this year, when he defeated Alexander Ritschard, in the first round of the 2024 Houston Open. He lost in the next round against Marcos Giron.
Wolf had broken into the top 40 last year on the back of his commendable performances. However, a steady decline in his results has seen the American drop below 100 in his rankings. The American was blown away by Carlos Alcaraz in the first round of the French Open when the former got a chance to play at the main draw as a lucky loser. Wolf has struggled to make it to the later rounds of challenger events as well.
Arthur Rinderknech has a 9-12 record for the season which does not indicate a good year for the Frenchman. Rinderknech had decent results at the Open 13 and the Lyon Open where he reached the quarter-finals. He lost against Grigor Dimitrov and Luciano Darderi.
Rinderknech secured an impressive win over former top-10 player Kei Nishikori in the first round at the Wimbledon Championships. However, he was unable to build up on that success, losing to top-ranked American Taylor Fritz in the second round.

J.J. Wolf vs Arthur Rinderknech prediction
The 2024 season for J.J. Wolf has not been replicative of the success that young American players had in the 2023 season. Wolf made it to the fourth round of the Australian Open last year, losing to Ben Shelton. In 2024, the American has struggled to advance to the semi-finals of the Challenger events, let alone the main draws of ATP events.
Rinderknech has notched up some impressive wins in 2024. Apart from the win over Nishikori, the Frenchman has secured wins over higher-ranked players such as Frances Tiafoe and Jiri Lehecka. He won a Challenger event on the hard courts of Lille, beating Joris de Loore in the final.
Given the loss of form for Wolf, Rinderknech is the firm favorite to win this match.
