Rafael Jodar vs Ugo Carabelli Prediction

This is their second meeting in as many weeks and I’d still lean toward Jodar to win this handsomely, just as he did in Marrakech earlier this month. Jodar is in the form of his life and he’s playing on home soil. Jodar to win this outright is probably the safest bet of the day at the Barcelona Open.
