Conversely, Munar has displayed strong form, winning all three of his recent matches in Basel, including decisive victories over Ben Shelton and Felix Auger-Aliassime, showcasing his ability to dominate opponents on hard courts.

Final Prediction

Jaume Munar's edge stems from his superior form index and recent performances, which suggest he is in better shape heading into this semifinal.
