THE PREDICTION
This match sees world number 86 Emil Ruusuvuori face number 87 in Pedro Martinez but in reality will be all about the Finn after Ruusuvuori created the biggest shock of the first round by beating Gael Monfils. It took the 21-year-old five long sets to beat the world number 11 on Monday but he showed great resolve to come back from a set down and two-all to win the decider. Going under the radar could suit 23-year-old Martinez here, as he came back from a set down to beat Yoshihito Nishioka in four sets in a commanding display that could serve him well here. If Ruusuvuori cannot settle down after the biggest win of his career then Martinez has an excellent chance to reach the third round but the Finn seems like a grounded individual and both players to take a set in a Ruusuvuori win seems the likeliest outcome.
