Damir Dzumhur vs Filip Cristian Jianu prediction

Damir Dzumhur will be hoping for an upturn in form during the clay court season as he has won just three matches out of 12 so far in 2026. He did win his first-round match in Miami against Ignacio Buse, before a loss to world number two Jannik Sinner. Other than that, his results have been poor, and Dzumhur will now be hoping to perform at his home tournament.

He faces a fellow Romanian in the first-round as he goes up against Filip Cristian Jianu, who mainly competes in lower-level tournaments. He does have 18 wins from 23 matches, but this will be his biggest test of the year as he competes in his first ATP event of 2026. He was handed a wildcard for this tournament last year, winning in the first-round to register his first ATP Tour win.

His run would end against Dzumhur in the second-round, and he has won all three of their meetings so far. Though Jianu is likely to be competitive here, Dzumhur has far more experience and pedigree.
