Carreno Busta has more experience playing on this surface. This will be Rune’s first match on grass. It’s unknown how he will play. It’s very likely that Holger will have some adjustment problems. This may prevent him from achieving a positive outcome for his match.
Last season at Moselle Open, Carreno Busta beat Rune in three sets. After a successful Roland Garros, Holger will try to show a good game in Halle. At the very least, he will have to put up a fight.
Carreno Busta had a weak spring season. The only exception was the tournament in Barcelona, where he reached the final and lost to Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (3-6, 2-6).
After that, Pablo played five matches and he won only one match. The Spaniard made it one round in Rome, while in Madrid, Lyon and at Roland Garros he dropped out after the first round.
On grass, Carreno Busta is usually a poor and unsuccessful player. Last year he somehow won two matches in Mallorca, but at Wimbledon, he lost to Sam Querrey (7-6, 6-4, 7-5) in his first match.
Carreno Busta has won four of his last five matches at the ATP 500.
Rune, meanwhile, is one of the season’s major discoveries. After his recent successes, he climbed to 28th place in the rankings.
In May, Holger won a tournament in Munich. In the second round, Holger defeated Alexander Zverev (6-3, 6-2). He reached the semi-finals in Lyon soon after, but Rune truly impressed everyone at Roland Garros.
In Paris, Rune stopped after the quarter-finals. Before that, he beat Denis Shapovalov (6-3, 6-1, 7-6) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4).
It is also important to note that Rune has never yet played on grass at the ATP level.
Rune has seven straight wins in his first-round matches to his credit.
In 4 of Rune’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with the odds of 2.27.
