Tomas Barrios Vera vs Cristian Garin prediction
Tomas Barrios Vera has picked up some encouraging results in the first few weeks of the 2026 season. He began the campaign in Canberra on the Challenger Tour, making the quarter-finals. He failed to qualify for the Australian Open but responded with a run to the semi-finals of the Concepcion Challenger. He then defeated Dusan Lajovic as Chile completed a clean sweep over Serbia in Davis Cup qualifying.
Meanwhile, Cristian Garin is still searching for his first win of the season. Garin lost in the first-round of the Hong Kong Open to Michael Mmoh despite taking the first set. He was soundly beaten by Eliot Spizzirri in Auckland and fell to another defeat in the first-round of the Australian Open after a loss to Luciano Darderi in straight sets.
Garin does lead the overall head-to-head 3-2, including qualifiers and Challenger events, but it’s 2-2 on clay. Barrios Vera is the player in better form and may just have the edge in this encounter.
