Munar vs Cina predicted score
Munar in two sets
Over their last ten tour matches with stats Munar held 80% of his service games and broke in 33.6% of return games; Cina held 72.5% and broke in 20.2%. Munar is the steadier player from the baseline, and Cina comes in after two long days. We expect 6:4, 6:3. If Cina’s serve holds up indoors and he takes a tie-break, a 2:1 Munar win still wins the bet.

Our Munar vs Cina pick: Jaume Munar win
Munar to win the match
Jaume Munar is ranked 49 and is 18-5 this season as a favourite. In Tokyo two weeks ago he came through qualifying, beat Taylor Fritz 6:7, 6:4, 6:3 and reached the semi-finals, where he took the first set off Carlos Alcaraz. Federico Cina, ranked 147, has played five sets in two days of qualifying here, the last match 3:6, 7:6(6), 7:6(4) against Remy Bertola. Over his last ten tour matches with stats Munar won 33.6% of his return games, Cina 20.2%. Every preview we checked picks Munar. We expect 6:4, 6:3; a win in three sets also wins the bet.
- Our scenario
- 6:4, 6:32:0 in sets
- Alternative
- 6:4, 6:7, 6:32:1 in sets
What would change our mind A withdrawal or a fitness complaint from Munar before the match, or his price moving above 1.45.
What could beat our pick?
- Munar is a clay-court player at heart, and we could not find his indoor record.
- He has lost his last two matches, the second one to Jenson Brooksby in Shanghai as the favourite.
- Cina has already played two matches on this court and with these balls this week.
Bet
We back Munar to win the match: two weeks ago he beat Taylor Fritz in Tokyo, and Cina, a qualifier ranked 147, needed two tie-breaks to get through yesterday.
