Ignacio Buse vs Damir Dzumhur prediction

Damir Dzumhur will hope his greater threat on a hardcourt will pay dividends against Ignacio Buse.

The veteran Bosnian, 33, has struggled for tour-level wins this year and heads into a first meeting with 21-year-old Buse sitting 13 places below the Peruvian in the ATP ladder.

However, Buse’s solid form this year has all come on clay with his win percentage away from his favoured surface limited to say the least.

Indeed, the South American only has one tour-level win on the surface, but did battle hard to come through a couple of three-setters in qualifying here.

Buse is heavily favoured with the Bookies, but one should be wary of his lack of results in these conditions.

There are decent odds for a Dzumhur win, so we reckon that is worth the punt.
