Our Learner Tien vs Rafael Jodar Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Tien is no doubt an easy pick in this match because of what he has done over the past 12 months. In just a short span of time, the American found himself at the doorstep of cracking into the top 20 in the world. Also, remember that Tien finished runner-up to Joao Fonseca in last year’s edition of this tournament, so you better believe he’s going for the title this year. Jodar is a talented player, but his lack of exposure at the main tour level will expose him in this match against a more seasoned Tien. This is also the reason why Tien will blow past him in three sets.
