Adam Walton vs Ignacio Buse prediction

Adam Walton impressively hugely in round one with how he grew into this match against Nicolas Mejia, getting better and better the longer he spent on court, leading to a second set blowout after the Aussie won a tense tie-breaker in the first. This bodes well for Walton moving forward with his confidence no doubt hugely boosted.

Ignacio Buse will need to be on the ball from the start because if he falls behind, this one will be hard to salvage when considering how Walton dispatched of Mejia and how he improved his performance levels as the match progressed. With that in mind, should this showdown reach three sets which it has a good chance of doing, Walton has to be favoured.
