Dominic Koepfer vs Pablo Carreno Busta Prediction
The Spaniard is the overwhelming favorite to win this match. However, lack of match practice can play a big role for the seventh seed. Incidentally, though, Koepfer’s last match was also in the Olympics where he lost to the Spaniard.
Hence the German will have a straight chance to avenge his loss. But he has to be much better than he was in Tokyo. Koepfer converted just one of his break points in that match. Consequently, an improvement on that can make a huge difference.
