Ignacio Buse vs Jakub Mensik prediction
Ignacio Buse pulled off a shock in round one as he defeated defending champion Flavio Cobolli. Buse was always in control and was not broken on serve as he won 6-2 7-5, with the Peruvian having now won three matches in a row.
He faces Jakub Mensik next. The Czech beat Jan-Lennard Struff in straight sets. The first set went on serve, with Mensik winning the tiebreak. He broke the Struff serve on two occasions in the second as he wrapped up a 7-6 (3) 6-2 win after one hour and 29 minutes. Mensik won 83% of his first serve points and saved all four break points that he conceded.
Buse is comfortable when constructing long points and his rally tolerance is impressive, while Mensik will look to dominate with his first serve and shorten the rallies to his advantage. This is still a challenging match for the 20-year-old, with Buse having beaten the likes of Joao Fonseca on this surface earlier in the year. This could be very competitive.
