Roberto Carballes Baena vs Oscar Otte Prediction: Roberto is favourite on form

In form star Carballes squares off against a familiar opponent for the 3rd time. After 5 straight wins, Carballes will be confident to get the better side of Oscar who has struggled with his form after two defeats in a row. Oscar is well aware of his opponents squeaky clean record and will need to go all out to stand a chance here.

Carballes has cleared off every opponent he has faced in the last 5 games. The only opponent to have won a single set against him was Brancaccio R. In a match that ended 2-1. Although many believe he is yet to face a top opponent, we can agree he deserves all the applause. Against Brouwer G he won (1-6,1-6). Against Zhang Z, he won (2-6,1-6) and the list goes on.

Oscar Otte recently lost woefully in doubles and before that he lost to Baez. It's more than enough to know he desperately needs to turn things around. Against Baez, he looked confident in the 1st set after leading (7-5) score but lost the remaining two sets (4-6,2-6). In that match he had the following stats: 11 Aces, 4 Double faults, 68% first serve points won, 38% second serve points won, 70% break points saved and a total of 81 points won.

Both players have met twice. Otte won the first encounter 2-0 and Baena had his revenge 3 months later in the same fashion.

Baena looks solid in form. But the bookmakers seem to back an Oscar win here.
