Alex de Minaur vs Jaume Munar prediction
De Minaur's main strength is his speed and athletic prowess to move across the court with agility. The Australian already has a title on the hard courts this season, and his opening-round match saw him completely dominating his opponent.
Munar also has some decent results on the red dirt, but he is not used to playing on the big stage as the 2R remains his best result at Roland Garros. The Spaniard, in fact, has not passed the 2R in any Grand Slam.
De Minaur's speed, clay-court form, and head-to-head record against the opponent give a considerable advantage to the Australian in this match.
Pick - Alex de Minaur to win in straight sets.
