THE PREDICTION
World number 23 Cam Norrie beat Carlos Alcaraz to win the Rio Open this time last season, claiming a first ATP 500 title and fourth overall, but he struggled to push on from there. The 28-year-old finished runner-up to Alcaraz in Buenos Aires the week before, last season, but this time around he suffered an early exit to Federico Coria before bouncing back in straight sets against Hugo Dellien here on Monday. With Alcaraz withdrawing from the tournament and other seeds tumbling away this could end up a really encouraging week for Norrie, who showed signs of a resurgence with an excellent run to the round of 16 at the Australian Open last month before a five-set defeat to Alexander Zverev. World number 120 Tomas Barrios Vera beat wildcard Gustavo Heide in straight sets on Monday but this should be far too steep of a challenge. Back Norrie to win this kind fixture in straight sets despite his recent choppy results.
TIP: CAM NORRIE TO WIN 2-0
