Cerundolo is the clear favourite in this pairing. He is more experienced than Filip, who has played few games in major tournaments so far. So we think that the upcoming match will be completely dominated by Francisco.
Misolic has not played a single match on the indoor hard court this season. Filip is still considered a grass player. Filip has played his best tennis on clay this year. On the hard court, he is unlikely to be a serious player.
Misolic can boast two trophies won this season. He started the year with a win in one of the ITF events and then won the Challenger in Zagreb. In the final of that event, Filip defeated Mili Poljicak (6-3, 7-6).
In addition, this year, Misolic was quite successful at one of the bigger tournaments as well, reaching the final in Kitzbühel, where he defeated Pablo Andujar (6-4, 6-0), Dušan Lajović (2-6, 7-6, 6-3) and Jannik Hanfmann (6-2, 2-6, 7-6).
Misolic has lost three times in his last five matches against higher-ranked opponents.
Francisco Cerundolo has only two wins in five matches on the indoor hard court this season. At the recent competition in Gijon, he reached the quarter-finals, while in Antwerp, he withdrew in the second round.
In both matches, Francisco lost to Dominic Thiem. His best performance of the year was on a clay court. He won the Challenger in Santa Cruz in the first half of the season and later clinched victory in Bostad.
Cerundolo had won six of his previous ten matches with wild-card holders.
