Pablo Carreno Busta vs Alejandro Tabilo prediction
Pablo Carreno Busta advanced to the main draw as his qualifying opponent Stan Wawrinka withdrew before their match took place. The Spaniard reached the quarter-final of this event back in 2018. He is still very competitive on the Challenger Tour, having won a title in Murcia and got through to a final in Alicante. In terms of his ATP results, he is yet to advance beyond the second-round of a tournament this season.
He will take on Alejandro Tabilo in round one. The Chilean progressed to the semi-final of this tournament in 2024, losing to Alexander Zverev. Tabilo has impressed this season, with deep quarter-final runs in Buenos Aires and Santiago, along with a last four appearance in Rio during the Golden Swing. He made the final of a Challenger event in Concepcion and then picked up his first title of the year in Aix-en-Provence.
Tabilo is a fine player on this surface, and this is likely to be a tough match for Carreno Busta.
