Milos Raonic vs Aljaž Bedene: Match Prediction

Milos Raonic will progress into Round 2

Milos Raonic has the mental edge over his opponent coming into the encounter, having beaten him just 2 weeks back. However, the Canadian suffered an abdominal strain which forced him to withdraw from the European Open and Vienna Open. It will be interesting to see if that affects his performance. If Raonic is 100%, then he will achieve a comfortable victory over Bedene.

Match Prediction: Milos Raonic to defeat Aljaz Bedene in straight sets.
