Cristian Garin vs Juan Manuel Cerundolo prediction
Cristian Garin qualified for the event after wins over Moez Echargui and Jan Choinski. He required three sets to get past the latter, but the Chilean will still be hoping for his best result of the campaign, having not progressed beyond the second-round of any events so far in 2026. Garin, who is ranked outside of the top 100, has 11 losses from 19 matches this season.
His first-round opponent is Juan Manuel Cerundolo. The Argentine’s best results of the season occurred during the Golden Swing, as he advanced to the semi-finals of the Rosario Challenger and got through to the last eight at the Rio Open. His results on clay in Europe have been less impressive, as he lost in the second-round of events in Madrid and Cagliari.
Garin leads the head-to-head 1-0 after coming from a set down to beat Cerundolo in Santiago. This should be a competitive match in round one.
