Jaume Munar vs Rinky Hijikata prediction
Jaume Munar is still searching for his best form as he switches focus to the North American hardcourt swing.
The Spaniard was at a career high at the back end of 2025 but an injury earlier this season had seen him struggle to hit those heights.
The world number 43 is also known for his preference of clay which may give hope to world number 93 Rinky Hijikata.
Both players have ten wins apiece in main draws this year, so there’s a similar level at present.
Munar did win their only previous clash in Rome in 2024 but that was 6-4 7-5 on clay with Jaume playing his best tennis.
It all points to some potential for a shock with a good chance we could see fluctuations in momentum for it to go three if you wish to avoid plumping for an outright name.
