Fourth seed Francisco Cerundolo has his first match of 2025. He faces unseeded Roberto Carballes Baena in round two of the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand. Who'll reach the last eight? Read our match prediction.
Cerundolo received a bye into the second round of this outdoor hard court tournament. He's ranked 31st in the world but was as high as 19th in 2023. Last year ended well with a semi-final in Altmay and wins over Andrey Rublev and Lorenzo Musetti.
Four of his last six hard court matches have been won though. The winner of this match could face sixth seed Flavio Cobolli.
Roberto Carballes Baena is 59th in the world and beat lucky loser Daniel Altmaier in the first round. He won that in three sets, dropping the middle one. That was his first win of 2025 after losing to Gabriel Diallo in Hong Kong last week.
2024 didn't end well for him with three defeats in his last two tournaments. Being a lucky loser in the Paris Masters didn't help him too much as he lost in the first round of the main draw. A win here will take him into his first hard court quarter final since September.
We tip Cerundolo to win this match.
