Marcelo Tomas Barrios Vera vs Mariano Navone prediction
Marcelo Tomas Barrios Vera’s most recent tournament was a disappointing one as he lost in the second-round of the Trieste Challenger despite being the second seed. He does have a title this season after winning the Campinas Challenger in April, and he did reach a final one month later in Mauthausen.
Mariano Navone did win his first ever main draw match on grass in the first-round of Wimbledon but still swiftly exited in the next stage, losing to Pedro Martinez. The Argentine transitioned back to the clay in perfect fashion as he picked up his first tournament win of the year in Braunschweig on the Challenger Tour. He lost just one set throughout the week and beat Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the final.
Navone leads the head-to-head 2-1 and all of their matches have been on clay. He defeated Vera in the final of the Poznan Challenger two years and beat him in the semi-final in Santa Fe later that year. He wrapped up both wins in straight sets, and considering he is entering the event on the back of a title, we back him to do so again.
