Second seed Holger Rune will begin his Argentina Open campaign with a second-round tie against unseeded Mariano Navone. The winner will play Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Joao Fonseca, Hugo Gaston or Federico Coria in the quarter-finals. Below is our prediction for this match.

Mariano Navone made a winning start to his Buenos Aires return and defeated compatriot Francisco Comesana in the first round. He won by the loss of eight games to secure his third loss victory of the season.

The Argentine is having a slow start to the year and has lost four times already. He has moved up one place to 46th in the live ranking.

Holger Rune has never won a match in Buenos Aires. The Dane lost his opening round match both times he featured in this event. As he returns after a three-year hiatus, he will be eager to not suffer an early exit.

Rune has won five of nine matches to start the season. The highlight of his campaign so far is a fourth-round finish at the Australian Open.

Rune, who is coming off a second-round exit in Rotterdam, is making his season clay debut. The world number 12 is a clay court specialist and defeated Navone on clay in their first meeting at last year’s Madrid Open.
