Busta has not been in the best of touch this year. However, he has made a decent start to his grass-court season. Last week, he made it to the Quarter-finals of the Halle Open in Germany but eventually lost to Nick Kyrgios. The Spaniard will be aiming for some much-needed consistency in Mallorca.

Antoine Bellier’s form coming into the match

Bellier has been in impressive touch at the Mallorca Open. The Swiss player had to overcome two rounds of qualifying to challenge the top players in the main draw. Bellier got the better Carlos Taberner and Mats Rosenkranz in the qualifiers. The 25-year-old then defeated Federico Delbonis in the Round of 32 to set up a clash against 4th seed Pablo Carreño Busta.

Denis Shapovalov has made a really poor start to the grass-court season. He suffered first-round exits in both of his previous events – the Stuttgart Open and the Queen’s Club Championships. Shapovalov’s best performance this year came at the Dubai Tennis Championships, where he reached the semi-finals. The Canadian is seeded third in the tournament and would be aiming for a good, consistent string of results.
