Pablo Carreno Busta vs Valentin Royer prediction
Pablo Carreno Busta is one win away from securing his best season since 2022.
The 35-year-old is enjoying something of a renaissance this year, rising back inside the top 70 and generally picking up wins consistently across tournaments, including a run to the round of 16 at the French Open.
The Spaniard meets Valentin Royer for the first time here with the Frenchman not far behind PCB in the rankings, but searching for just a fourth main draw win of the year.
Perusing their general form across surfaces, you’d suspect Carreno Busta is the more comfortable and assured and given his recent exploits, he’s a decent pick in this one.
