Ilya Ivashka vs Jaume Munar : Preview

Ilya Ivashka is just in his 3rd appearance on the tour in 2021, having previously featured at the 2021 Australian Open and 2021 Miami Open losing in first and second round respectively.

Ilya Ivashka vs Jaume Munar : Prediction

Jaume Munar was the runner-up at the Marbella Challenger, which has prepared him well for the ongoing tournament. Ivashka on the other hand is coming directly from a hard surface which can be a little tricky against the in-form Spaniard who has had enough match practice on the clay for this season.
Since the start of last year, Munar has a record of 38-15 on Clay whereas Ivashka has 5-5 which could be another factor for the Spaniard being the favourite for this quarter-final. But Ivashka has cleared his intensions with his previous performances and will not go down without a strong fight.
Prediction: Jaume Munar to win in 3 sets
