Unseeded Jesper de Jong will be looking for another deep run in this week's Croatia Open in Umag. He takes on Croatian wild card Mili Poljicak in round one of this outdoor clay court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
Last weekend saw de Jong lose to Luciano Darderi in the final of the ATP Tour clay court tournament played in Bastad. That run to his second final of the year (the other being in a Challenger Tour clay court tournament) has taken him to a career-high 83rd in the live rankings.
The Dutchman has won 18 of his 30 matches played on clay this year and has won seven of his last ten on this surface. For the winner of this match, their second round opponent will be either fifth seed Mariano Navone or unseeded Tomas Barrios Vera.
Mili Poljicak will have the support of the home crowd. The Croatian is down at 272nd in the live rankings, 15 places below his career-high. This year has seen the 21-year-old achieve a 20-14 clay court record.
However, those matches have all been played on the ITF and Challenger Tour circuits. His current form is not impressive with three of his last four matches (all on clay) ending in defeat. We tip de Jong to win in straight sets.
