Our Arthur Fils vs Rafael Jodar Prediction
Arthur Fils was in great form earlier this year, regularly making it to at least the last eight on this surface and reaching one final. He has had time off due to injury and will want to return to that kind of form.
Rafael Jodar is only just below Fils in the world rankings. He has had a lot of his success on other surfaces and his best outdoor hard court run came on the Challenger Tour. This could go to three sets but our main Arthur Fils v Rafael Jodar prediction is Arthur Fils wins.
