I’ve been waiting to oppose Yunchaokete again. The last time was at the Australian Open, and he hasn’t really played opponents worth backing against him since then. The 23-year-old had a great summer and fall swing, beating up on some weaker Challenger Tour fields in North America and then getting hot for two weeks on home soil in the fall.

Since then, however, the results haven’t been as impressive, as his volatile game and lack of real consistency or gameplanning has meant he’s lost a lot of matches to players that the market has come to expect him to beat.

With the courts at the new venue appearing to be at least a bit slower, prolonged points could be more commonplace. That would favour Munar as well.

I haven’t seen enough yet at the main tour level for Yunchaokete to be a large favourite as he’s been priced up in this contest against a solid, proven tour level foe.

Bu Yunchaokete Recent Form

I mentioned the form that hasn’t been that great since the fall for Yunchaokete, and that’s carried over to the 2025 season as well. He has just two wins, one coming against a borderline Challenger player that is much better on clay, as opposed to indoor hard courts and the other against a mercurial Constant Lestienne.

Other than that? Four losses, with two defeats coming as the favourite entering the match and another that was priced closely that he lost fairly meekly.

In the fall, you can add another trio of losses where he came into the match as a favourite after his impressive back-to-back tournaments in Hangzhou and Beijing.

Sure, he has a big game with firepower from the baseline, but there’s not enough to complement that power for me to believe he should be such a sizable favourite in this contest.

Jaume Munar Recent Form

Munar may not be known for his hard court prowess, but his serve and forehand are not as underpowered as many tend to believe. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not exactly going to blast his way to victory either, but his game is more serviceable on the surface than the market tends to believe.

His solidity and shotmaking, as well as his tennis IQ should also prove to be valuable in this matchup, with solid advantages in all those departments relative to Yunchaokete.

This season hasn’t been that poor for the Spaniard either. He made a hard court semifinal in Hong Kong, beating a talented Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, a top-20 Lorenzo Musetti and solid Nuno Borges, before losing from a set up to the eventual champion in Alexandre Muller.

While I’m not going to make the case that he should be favoured to win the match, I will say a valuation clearly below 40% is incorrect.
