Arthur Rinderknech vs. Pablo Carreno Busta Prediction: Carreno Busta All The Way

On Friday, October 14, second seed Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain will face Arthur Rinderknech of France in the quarter-finals of the 2022 Gijon Open.

Arthur Rinderknech

Rinderknech has had a few challenging weeks after not faring well on the courts. He was winning matches, but his performance degraded as a result of his inability to continuously put out a decent effort. This week's results are looking better, with two victories against two very strong players who were in form.

Rinderknech, like most French players, excels inside and has spent a significant amount of time doing so throughout his career. Overall, the team has a 33-21 record and a 6-2 record indoors.

He went 26-14 inside last year, thanks in large part to his serve.

He's one of those guys who can get into a groove and his serves become nearly unplayable. That's a significant risk for every player that faces him, and Pablo Carreno Busta will face the same problems. If he brings his A-game, things may get interesting.

Pablo Carreno Busta

Pablo Carreno Busta grew raised in Gijon, and performing in his hometown is something he'll never forget. Few players have had the opportunity to do so, and he shown a decent amount of confidence in his first encounter against Monteiro.

It was an easy victory, and Carreno Busta normally performs well indoors. He has a good, crisp serve, and his forehand can be devastating in the appropriate situations. This year has been particularly fruitful for him, as he just won the ATP 1000 event in Canada, bringing his total record to 32-20.

He'll have to think about it since he'll be facing a guy he's never faced before, especially if Rinderknech pulls out the serve.

I believe it is a favorable matchup for him since he has many weapons to win, but he must be vigilant.

So, this should be an exciting game, but I believe Busta will win. He's the superior player, and he should enjoy himself in this one.
