Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Mariano Navone prediction
Felix Auger-Aliassime lost in the third-round of the Madrid Open last time out to Alexander Blockx. He did achieve his best result at the Monte-Carlo Masters last month, reaching the quarter-finals, but he has never had the strongest record on clay. He reached the last eight of this event back in 2022.
The Canadian received a bye in round one and now takes on Mariano Navone. The Argentine comfortably got past Denis Shapovalov in the first-round. Navone was pegged back in the first set after going an early break up but still secured the lead. He broke three more times in the second as he went on to win 6-4 6-2.
Navone leads the head-to-head 1-0, beating Auger-Aliassime at last year’s BMW Open on clay. He already has a title on the surface in 2026 following his success at the Bucharest Open, and this could be a challenging match for Auger-Aliassime.
