Busta is the sixth seed at this year’s Dubai open, because of which he had a bye in the first round. He is a great player, and when fully fit can compete against the best. But this year has not been that good for him.

He has suffered abdominal muscle problems which has affected his performance on the court. The last tournament he participated in was the Australian Open where he retired in the third round match against Grigor Dimitrov, while trailing 0-6 0-1. Busta will face Márton Fucsovics in this second round encounter.

Fucsovics did well in the just concluded Qatar Open, where he reached the QuarterFinals of the tournament. But unfortunately he had to withdraw from the tournament due to injury.

At the Dubai open though there were no signs of that injury as he played out a two hour plus match against Vasek Pospisil. In the three set encounter, Fucsovics came back from a set down to win 2-6 7-5 6-4.

Busta is a two time Grand Slam Quarter Finalist and there is no doubting his quality, but is he match fit yet? Fucsovics is in a very confident mood after coming from behind and winning his first round encounter. This could actually turn out to be a great match of tennis. Busta should win it. 

Match Prediction: Pablo Carreno Busta will beat Márton Fucsovics in three sets.
