Jaume Munar vs Alexander Shevchenko prediction

Jaume Munar will be eager to make an impression on home turf.

The Spaniard is 44 places better off in the rankings, leads Alexander Shevchenko 1-0 in the head-to-head and also cruised to a victory in a Challenger in Marbella in 2022.

Indeed, the world number 38 has never dropped a set to the Kazakhstani world number 82, but is featuring in just his second match since a two-month lay off.

Shevchenko has just one clay win across four three tournaments but has managed seven overall this year. 

Munar should have the motivation here and if he's sharp enough, we see him progressing.
