Get ready for the second round of the National Bank Open (Toronto Masters) with expert betting tips and analysis. This article provides predictions for key matches, including insights into player form and head-to-head records.
### Jaume Munar vs. Francisco Cerundolo Jaume Munar has had a decent season, especially on hardcourts, reaching the semi-finals in Hong Kong and Dallas. He recently beat Marcos Giron in Washington before facing Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. His commanding win over Dan Martin in the first round shows he is well-adapted to the Toronto surface. Francisco Cerundolo, in contrast, will be playing his first hardcourt match since March. While capable on this surface, he is primarily a clay-court player and may need time to adjust. Munar's win in their most recent contest in Cordoba, played at altitude, suggests he can handle quicker conditions similar to those in Toronto.
**Betting Tip:** Back Jaume Munar to win at 11/10 (General).
### Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs. Holger Rune This match presents an awkward opener for Holger Rune, who had to withdraw from Washington due to a back issue. This will be his first hardcourt match since the spring. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, known for his powerful serve (reaching 153mph at Wimbledon), defeated Rune in straight sets in Basel last autumn without facing a break point. He eased past Shintaro Mochizuki in the first round.
**Betting Tip:** Back Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard to win at 33/20 (Unibet, BetMGM, Virgin Bet).
### Lorenzo Musetti vs. James Duckworth Lorenzo Musetti had a strong season before an injury at the French Open. Since then, he has lost both his matches, including a defeat to Cam Norrie in Washington. James Duckworth, on the other hand, reached the quarter-finals in Los Cabos and has come through qualifying in Toronto without losing a set. Duckworth also won their only previous meeting in 2021.
**Betting Tip:** Back James Duckworth to win at 18/5 (Unibet, BetMGM, Virgin Bet).
