THE PREDICTION
World number 18 Pablo Carreno Busta overcame Stan Wawrinka in straight sets on Monday for a welcome result after some difficult months on tour. The 31-year-old had to retire in the second set of his first round clash with Dusan Lajovic at Wimbledon last time out, making it a three-match losing streak coming into the Nordea Open since his run to the quarter-finals at Halle. Carreno Busta is a solid all-courter but just-about best on the clay but he faces a fellow Spaniard in Albert Ramos-Vinolas who can be more accurately be described as a clay specialist. The 34-year-old took out Tomas martin Etcheverry in straight sets on Tuesday to back up his last outing on clay - a five-set epic with Carlos Alcaraz that he eventually lost in the second round of Roland-Garros.
Carreno Busta’s intermittent form makes this match a good one to keep out of an accumulator but the fifth seed leads Ramos-Vinolas 3-1 in their head-to-head having won each of their three meetings on clay. A reversal would not be a surprise here, making PCB to win at least a set the suitably cautious pick and Ramos-Vinolas to earn at least one the shrewd move.
