THE PREDICTION

Former world number nine Roberto Bautista Agut grabbed an excellent opening victory over Miomir Kecmanovic, last season’s runner-up, on Monday as he continues his journey back from a poor 2023. The 35-year-old may never make it back to his once stalwart position inside the top 20 but he remains one of the most compact, versatile tennis players on tour with a game for all surfaces and a notorious grit that should see him successfully back inside the top 40 one last time.

26-year-old Pedro Martinez set a career-high ATP world ranking of 40th after winning his only ATP title at the Chile Open two years ago and he is still capable of that level on his favoured clay. The younger Spaniard won the Girona Challenger last week to bring some form into Estoril and a straight-sets victory over Daniel Altmaier on Wednesday suggests he stands a chance at the upset here. Martinez stunned RBA in three tight sets in their only previous encounter, at the Kitzbuhel Open in 2021, but back Bautista Agut to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance in this likely thriller.

TIP: ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT TO WIN A SET
