Busta enjoys playing from the baseline, and adding variety to his shots from there. Change of pace, quick hands at the nets are all part of his arsenal. Munar has been playing on clay continuously for a while now and has gotten really good at it.

His strengths are his movement and his consistency. But, Busta is better than him in the same areas, and will look to dominate him. Looks like a sure shot victory for Busta. 

Match Prediction: Pablo Carreno Busta will beat Jaume Munar in straight sets.
