THE LOWDOWN
Bernabe Zapata Miralles came through a marathon first-round contest with compatriot Feliciano Lopez on Monday and he will have taken plenty of confidence from defeating the veteran and reaching the second round of a slam for the first time in the process. He will face Felix Auger-Aliassime, who himself had to battle past Russian qualifier Evgeny Donskoy in four sets in a match that involved three tie-breaks.
THE PREDICTION
This is uncharted territory for Bernabe Zapata Miralles and it will be an entirely different prospect facing him than it was in the first round. Having seen off 39-year-old Feliciano Lopez last time out, the Spaniard now faces recently turned 21-year-old talent Felix Auger-Aliassime, who comes in at a career-high of 15th in the world rankings. The Canadian was pushed hard in his opener but that should only serve to help his cause as he grows into the tournament, and he should ultimately have too much for Miralles here.
