Alvaro Guillen Meza vs Stan Wawrinka prediction
Stan Wawrinka will go in search of just a second tour-level match of 2025 in Umag.
The Swiss will have high hopes having posted some solid results at Challenger level recently while his opponent Alvaro Guillen Meza had only won one of his last eight matches prior to coming through qualifying.
The 40-year-old three-time Grand Slam champion may be in the twilight of his career, but he is still capable of some sublime moments on a tennis court.
Maintaining it for a full match is becoming a tall order for Stan the Man and that is likely to be the best hope for the 22-year-old world number 223.
Meza has a shot at taking a big-name scalp if he can turn it into a war of attrition, but we are going for Wawrinka to utilise his venomous weapons and grab the rare win.
