THE LOWDOWN

JAUME MUNAR

World number 99 Jaume Munar continued his excellent 2022 form with a comeback victory over 16th-seed Pablo Carreno Busta on Sunday. The 24-year-old lost to PCB in the Andalucia Open final last season, also in three sets, and he could be in for a promising swing on his favoured clay this Spring.

TAYLOR FRITZ

World number 20 Taylor Fritz conceded just two games to Kamil Majchrzak on Sunday in a blistering performance that harked back to his last campaign in the desert. 24-year-old Fritz beat Matteo Berrettini, Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev on his way to a disappointing semi-final exit to Nikoloz Basilashvili at Indian Wells last October in a resurgent return to form. The American set a career-high ATP world ranking of 16th last month after reaching the round of 16 at a Grand Slam for the first time at the Australian Open.

THE PREDICTION

Jaume Munar is a really engaging battler on court who almost beat Aslan Karatsev over five sets at the Australian Open back in January. It has taken the Spaniard a few tournaments to rediscover that level but a victory over Pablo Carreno Busta in these conditions is vastly impressive and he should be thorn in Taylor Fritz’ side throughout this match. World number 20 Fritz has unfinished business at Indian Wells after beating three top 10 players to reach the semi-finals last October. The American took Stefanos Tsitsipas to five sets before defeat at the Australian Open and with his working level well inside the top 20 in the world right now he can be backed to win outright here, sensibly, or in straight sets for a fair risk.
