Igor Ribeiro Marcondes vs Ignacio Buse prediction
Igor Ribeiro Marcondes won both of his matches in qualifying to make the main draw in Rio. He beat Chun-Hsin Tseng in straight sets, following that up with another comprehensive victory over Jaime Faria. His best result of the season so far is a quarter-final appearance in Itajai on the Challenger Tour, but his other recent performances at that level were less impressive, with first-round exits in Concepcion and Rosario. He is ranked just inside the top 350 in the world.
He goes up against Ignacio Buse. The Italian made his first appearance of the season at the Argentina Open last week. He produced a magnificent turnaround to win against Francesco Passaro in the first-round, but he would go no further after a defeat to Sebastian Baez in the next stage of the tournament.
Baez is getting back to speed after some time away and he’ll be expected to come through with a straight sets win here.
