Popyrin has been playing quite well this year too and should be able to advance here.<br \/>\n<strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Popyrin in 2<\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170460&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Martin Landaluce vs Jaume Munar<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Landaluce is a very promising Spanish player, who has got many wins at lower levels and now finds himself in the main draw of a Masters 1000.
