Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Daniel Merida Aguilar prediction

Stefanos Tsitsipas claimed one of his best wins of the year with a dominant performance against Alexander Bublik.

The Greek gave a cameo of the top-class clay-court skills that once saw him sit amongst the main contenders for the French Open courtesy of a 6-2 7-5 victory. 

The world number 80 now faces Spanish qualifier Daniel Merida Aguilar for a spot in the round of 16.

The 21-year-old continued his blistering clay form this year with a 6-3 6-4 victory over Corentin Moutet. 

This is tough to call as Tsitsipas at his consistent best would be the obvious pick here, but if he dips below the level produced against eighth seed Bublik, it could open the door for the world number 102. 

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Daniel Merida Aguilar tip: Over 2.5 sets
