THE PREDICTION
22-year-old Mikael Ymer is riding a three-match losing streak on tour stretching back to the Miami Open where the Swede is more at home on a hard court. However, the world number 105 will have plenty of say in this first meeting with Roberto Carballes Baena, whose fitness comes into question here. It is unclear if the world number 95 dropped out of the quarter-finals of the Belgrade Open 2 last Thursday due to fitness or fatigue but the Spaniard had been in strong form, beating Arthur Rinderknech and Gael Monfils in Serbia. This match could be worth leaving alone until confirmed in case the 28-year-old does not start but if he does he will be the slight favourite here. This could be a lengthy first round match so take this to see over three sets if that option is available or for Carballes Baena to win at least a set.
