Pablo Llamas Ruiz vs Thiago Agustin Tirante prediction
Pablo Llamas Ruiz impressed in qualifying as he won all three matches without dropping a set. This follows on from a very impressive showing at the Italian Open, as he qualified and then beat Ethan Quinn and Corentin Moutet to advance to round three, where he lost to former world number one Daniil Medvedev despite taking the first set. Overall, he has seven wins from his last eight matches. The Spaniard also won a Challenger event in Alicante.
He faces Thiago Agustin Tirante for a place in the second-round. It’s been a largely productive clay court campaign for the Argentine, who is up to his highest ranking of 58 in the world. He reached the semi-finals in Houston and his performances during the Masters events on the clay were also encouraging, as he progressed to the third-round in Madrid and the round-of-16 in Rome.
Both of these players thrive on this surface, and while Llamas Ruiz has momentum from qualifying, Tirante could have the edge physically.
