⭐ Editor's prediction
Both players bring conditions for a long match: Barrios Vera averages a high game total even when his form dips, while Vukic holds serve consistently and is solid in his own service games. Their previous meetings went the Chilean's way, but the Australian's current form makes a quick finish or one-sided result unlikely. The main pick is over 22.5 games.
