Rune Made the Acapulco Semis

It’s been a mixed start to the season for Rune who had ended the previous year with a Paris Masters victory. And that had come at the expense of Novak Djokovic whom he defeated in the final of that tournament.

Rune hasn’t had as deep a run as that this season.

At the Australian Open he was knocked out of the tournament in the fourth round, with Andrey Rublev getting the better of him. He made the Montpellier semifinal after an opening bye and was a semifinalist in Acapulco last week as well.

Unfortunately for Rune, it was Alex de Minaur who got the better of him this time despite being a 1/2 favourite going into that encounter.

That has been Rune’s issue – losses against the run of play at times and despite starting out as a favourite. Can he go better than his previous Indian Wells Open showing when he had been bundled out in the second round?

McDonald Crushes Krajinovic in Opener

McDonald had gone into his first round match in this tournament as a 2/5 favourite against Filip Krajinovic and he sure played like one.

The American, who had earlier defeated Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open and reached the semifinal in Delray Beach, registered a 6-3, 6-0 win over his Serbian opponent. The match lasted a mere 63 minutes.

An early break of serve gave McDonald the advantage as he went 3-1 up and he held on to it easily, facing no break-points in the first set. He broke again in the ninth game to wrap up the set.

In the second set, McDonald was 2-0 up again and while he faced two break-points in the very next game, he saved them both. He then broke for the second time taking the match far away from his opponent’s reach before performing the last rites with a third break of serve.

Can the in-rhythm McDonald put up a fight against Rune?

Rune v McDonald Prediction and Tip

Rune is a 2/5 to win this but we do think McDonald might not make it any easy for his opponent. The American might even sneak in a set here.
