[Tennis- ATP Estoril] 3.4/ 12:00 D.Altmaier- P.Martinez
Pedro played that same ATP 250 tournament in Santiago in February and beat Acosta in the second round. He’s gone 8-2 on clay and won his last 10 matches. While some of them may just be challenger matches, Martinez also has previous experience at the Estoril open. He’s coming off a challenger win in Girona will look to continue his form in Portugal.
While Altmaier hasn’t played in the Estoril open before, Martinez entered in 2021 where he lost in the second round after making it through some qualifiers and beating a younger bublik in straight sets.
Martinez owns the head to head 1-0 winning in three sets after dropping the first set 4-6, winning the last 2 6-3,6-3. This matchup was also on clay and also in 2021.
Daniel hasn’t been playing on clay with his last two tournaments on hard courts while Martinez is coming off a challenger win on clay. I believe the greatest reason for Daniel to be the favourite is having a week of rest more than Pedro. That hasn’t posed a problem for Altmaier to still lose, having 4 first round exits to his name already and a 5-8 record this year. Martinez is 14-6 this year and perhaps the overall ranking also poses him as the underdog but I’ll take him to triumph on familiar ground.
