THE PREDICTION

World number seven Holger Rune came to the fore as a hugely gifted clay-courter but it was on the late indoors hardcourt swing in 2022 that he blossomed into the rising star he is today. The 20-year-old should target the next month of indoors tournaments as a proving ground to get himself back on track after a difficult second-half to last season looks to have spilled into 2024, although even below par he managed to make the Brisbane final before defeat to Grigor Dimitrov last month. World number 156 Pablo Llamas Ruiz qualified well this weekend before an excellent opening result over French veteran Ricard Gasquet on Tuesday but this should be too steep of a step-up in quality. The 21-year-old looks ready for a breakthrough year on tour but back Rune to hit the ground running with a straight-sets victory here.

TIP: HOLGER RUNE TO WIN 2-0
