Arthur Fils vs Pablo Carreno Busta prediction
Arthur Fils is back on the ATP circuit after a stress fracture in his back caused him to withdraw from the French Open and miss the entire grass court season. Fils has not featured since his miraculous comeback against Jaume Munar in the second-round of Roland Garros. The Frenchman has flourished already this season with four quarter-final appearances, which include the Sunshine Double events, and a semi-final in Barcelona.
He makes his return against Pablo Carreno Busta, a winner of this event three years ago. The Spaniard was making his own return from injury against Canadian Liam Draxl in the first-round. He recovered from a slow start to win 2-6 6-4 6-4 and earn a first hard court win on the ATP Tour this season.
Fils has spoken of the need to be careful on his return from injury, and he may not be at his absolute best after some time away from the court. Nevertheless, he has shown his quality already this season and is still able to defeat Carreno Busta without being at his optimum level.
