Jaume Munar vs Casper Ruud prediction
Whilst his wife is expecting the birth of their first child, Casper Ruud plans to be there for it even if it means sacrificing his place at the Australian Open. But as of right now, the Norwegian remains at the tournament and is all set for second round action following a comprehensive round one win over Mattia Bellucci.
Jaume Munar grinded through a hard five-set battle to defeat Dalibor Svrcina, setting up this second round match. That victory likely took a lot out of Munar and against a fresh Ruud, it would be no surprise to see the Spaniard start to run out of gas the longer this encounter lasts as Ruud attemps to pull his opponent around the hard court.
Any outcome other than Ruud winning would be a massive shock and the expectation is that he will once again get the job done in straight sets. Backing that outcome has to be favoured.
