Christopher O’Connell vs Camilo Ugo Carabelli prediction

Camilo Ugo Carabelli will have his sights on a debut win at the Madrid Masters.

The clay-court specialist primarily does damage on the Challenger Tour but his solid results on the dirt this season - including semi-final runs in Rio and Santiago - make him a tricky opponent for anyone transitioning to the surface. 

Christopher O’Connell posted some solid wins over Dusan Lajovic and Nicolas Jarry in Bucharest but has now lost his last three on clay. 

The faster conditions may make it more appealing for O’Connell but with no prior meetings to gauge the match-up, the smart bet would be on the South American to have the edge and greater confidence on the surface.
