Marin Cilic vs Adrian Mannarino prediction
Marin Cilic rolled back the years at Wimbledon last year, making the round-of-16, his best result at the Championships since making the final in 2017. He also picked up two Challenger titles, but he failed to make inroads at any events after his run at the All England Club. The 2014 US Open champion is ranked 73 in the world.
He begins his season in Hong Kong and goes up against another veteran in Adrian Mannarino. The Frenchman’s best form was during the summer as he got through to round three at Wimbledon and then made the fourth-round in Cincinnati after coming through qualifying. Mannarino then produced the same result at the US Open, and he is now safely inside the 70, having started 2025 outside of the top 100.
Cilic has enough power in his groundstrokes to play through Mannarino during their rallies, and his firepower makes him the favourite to come out on top here.
