Nikoloz Basilashvili vs Daniel Altmaier prediction
Nikoloz Basilashvili defeated Loreno Sonego in straight sets to advance to the main draw of the Halle Open. His best result of the season was on the Challenger Tour in Phoenix, as he reached the quarter-finals. However, Basilashvili also impressed at the Italian Open as he made the round-of-16. Overall, the Georgian has 17 wins from 35 matches in 2026. He is a former semi-finalist at this event.
His first-round opponent is Daniel Altmaier. The German began his grass court season in Stuttgart, losing in round one to Frances Tiafoe in three sets. Altmaier began the season poorly, with a number of losses in a row, but he did end the clay court season with a quarter-final appearance in Hamburg, which stands as his joint best result on the ATP in 2026.
Basilashvili performed strongly in qualifying, and his aggressive game is likely to cause problems for Altmaier, who does not have a great record on grass.
