But who will advance?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Dallas Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Jaume Munar vs Yunchaokete Bu<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Jaume Munar is currently playing some of his best hard-court tennis and should be confident going into this match. However, his record at indoor hard courts is not good and his last tour-level win on the indoor hard courts came in 2022. On the other hand, Yunchaokete Bu has been very effective indoors and is coming off a quarterfinal run in Montpellier. Bu has more firepower and can be very destructive when playing well. Munar will need to perform exceptionally well to win this.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Bu in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Roberto Carballes Baena vs Michael Mmoh<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Michael Mmoh did well in the qualifying rounds and will play his first main draw match since April last year. This is Mmoh&#8217;s best surface and he has a good shot at winning this match against someone who isn&#8217;t that comfortable on indoor hard courts. Roberto Carballes Baena has displayed some good form this season and is probably playing his best hard-court tennis. However, he still has flaws on low-bouncing surfaces and needs to be careful.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Carballes Baena in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a  id=\"vcg_MDtJTg98oUvMVmeyKQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2197102163\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'vcg_MDtJTg98oUvMVmeyKQ',sig:'sIhQImdlYiRMLwCOnnQEPm6Ym2asY5o5P5JlnkTaI8c=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2197102163',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Reilly Opelka vs Alexander Shevchenko<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Reilly Opelka has made a wonderful start to the season and was close to beating Tomas Machac at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/category\/australian-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Australian Open<\/a> despite being physically compromised. Opelka is a two-time Dallas Open champion, and his powerful serve and groundstrokes make him a strong favourite to win this match. Alexander Shevchenko has played well on indoor courts in the past, but his current form isn&#8217;t good enough to challenge Opelka.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Opelka in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Taylor Fritz vs Arthur Rinderknech<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: Fritz 2-0 Rinderknech<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Fritz took a shocking loss to Gael Monfils at the Australian Open and will be looking to get back to winning ways. Fritz is the top seed and a favourite to win the title. He has a difficult first-round match against Arthur Rinderknech, who is a good player on indoor courts. These two also have some history which makes this match even more exciting. I won&#8217;t be surprised if the Frenchman makes it a close affair but Fritz should prevail.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Fritz in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven first-round matches are scheduled on Day 3 of the ATP Dallas Open.
