Francisco Comesana vs Holger Rune prediction
Francisco Comesana defeated Daniel Altmaier 6-1 7-5 to reach the second-round. The Argentinian breezed through the first set but was made to work for it in the second, eventually clinching the decisive break late on to seal victory.
Holger Rune’s fitness issues continue to threaten his potential and it’s never been more evident than over the past month. He retired from his match against Nuno Borges in the second-round of Monte-Carlo, complaining of sickness but then produced some of the best tennis of his career to reach the Barcelona Open final and then defeat four-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz. However, he could not maintain the momentum as he retired early on once again in Madrid, this time due to a leg injury.
Rune’s quality is undeniable, and he already has success at this event, making the final here two years ago. As long as he’s recovered from the injury that curtailed his tournament in Madrid, he should be getting through, but Comesana can be a tricky opponent on clay.
