The first round in Mallorca sees him come up against Jaume Munar, who&#8217;s playing on home soil but definitely <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2019\/05\/27\/jaume-munar-aggressive-mindset\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">not on his favorite surface<\/a>. Who do you think will come out on top?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Mallorca Day 2 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Alexandre Muller vs Roman Safiullin<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: Safiullin 2-0<\/p>\n<p>Roman Safiullin was a Wimbledon quarterfinalist two years ago, but is winless on grass this year after losing tight battles to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Justin Engel. This should be competitive as well, while also being considerably less serve-oriented. On any other surface Alexandre Muller would be a heavy favorite right now, but we&#8217;re yet to truly see what he can do on grass. If he can&#8217;t counter-punch as effectively as he does elsewhere, Safiullin can find a way to win.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Safiullin in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Camilo Ugo Carabelli vs Ethan Quinn<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: Quinn 1-0<\/p>\n<p>Every qualifier wanted to draw Camilo Ugo Carabelli, and Ethan Quinn was the lucky one. But is it as easy as it might seem? The Argentinian has never won a match on grass (0-3), focusing on it for the first time after improving his ranking. His grinding game just doesn&#8217;t suit the surface at all, although when confident he can sometimes go after his forehand more than you think. Still, if Quinn is going to keep rising in the rankings, this is a match he&#8217;s got no excuse losing.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Quinn in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a  id=\"M9pBLsGXSLRf5rMCK6bHUw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2217937129\" 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:'M9pBLsGXSLRf5rMCK6bHUw',sig:'y9lU8jIFNNTKjZqgwvu4nYakRpecIth8gXWqWFOA8uE=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2217937129',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Gabriel Diallo vs Jaume Munar<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: Diallo 1-0<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel Diallo&#8217;s Queen&#8217;s Club run wasn&#8217;t quite as good as <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2025\/06\/15\/gabriel-diallo-wins-maiden-atp-title\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">his performances in &#8216;s-Hertogenbosch<\/a>, but that felt natural considering the potential fatigue after winning his first ATP Tour title. He should be ready to go again for Mallorca and faces an opponent who doesn&#8217;t have much to show on grass on paper. However, Jaume Munar has been improving his attacking game this year and almost took down eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz last week. He&#8217;s more of a threat than he was before, but Diallo should handle it.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Diallo in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gabriel Diallo kicked off his grass campaign by claiming his first ATP Tour title in &#8216;s-Hertogenbosch and will now look for a good follow-up in Mallorca just before we head to Wimbledon.
