Camilo Ugo Carabelli vs Pablo Carreno Busta prediction
Camilo Ugo Carabelli has not fared nearly as well in the European clay court season in comparison to the South American swing on clay in February. During that month, the Argentinian reached the semi-finals of both tournaments in Rio and Chile. His form has taken a sharp decline since, as he lost in the first-round of both Monte-Carlo and Madrid, while he withdrew from Barcelona before the event even occurred.
Pablo Carreno Busta is currently on a three-match losing run, after a defeat in a Challenger event were followed up by early exits in Barcelona and Madrid. The 33-year-old has struggled for form for most of the year as he hovers just beyond the top 100 of the world rankings. He only qualifies for this event as a lucky loser, having lost in qualifying to Roman Andres Burruchaga despite taking the first set.
Despite his indifferent form over the last month, we favour Ugo Carabelli to beat the experienced Spaniard pretty comfortably.
