Pablo Carreno Busta vs Norbert Gombos: Prediction
Both Carreno Busta and Gombos have been doing very well on the ATP tour. To add to the excitement, they both have similar gamestyle. Carreno Busta is very strong on the forehand side and Gombos equally matches him on the backhand.
Based on Rankings alone, the Spaniard will go in as the favorite but in no means will he take Gombos lightly. The Slovak could take a set from PCB but won’t be able to get more out of himself.
Prediction: Carreno Busta to win in four sets.
