Ramkumar Ramanathan vs Wu Tung-lin: Match Prediction

Ramkumar will progress into the third round

The second round clash between the two players will be close call. The match is expected to be decided by a three set affair and can go either way. The Indian has played much more tennis than his opponent since the past year. Tung-lin has suffered from several injuries which kept him out of the majority of 2020 season. Ramanathan’s best performance came at the Challenger Eckental last year where he finished as the runner-up. The Indian just gets the edge in this encounter due to the amount of tennis he has played in the past year, which will give him a lot of confidence.

Match Prediction: Ramkumar Ramanathan to defeat Wu Tung-lin in three sets.
