Will a return to clay bring about a return to form for Cristian Garin? He faces fellow unseeded player Thiago Agustin Tirante in round one of the outdoor clay court Rio Open. Time for our match prediction.
Cristian Garin is still waiting for his first win of the year. If he can get a victory in his first clay court match of 2026, the opponent in round two will be either top seed Francisco Cerundolo or unseeded Mariano Navone.
Garin has lost all three of his matches this year but all were on hard courts. Last year saw him win 39 of his 52 clay court matches with four Challenger Tour titles won. His form on the ATP Tour wasn't so good with only two second rounds reached on this surface.
Thiago Agustin Tirante has had better results this year with five of his nine matches being won. His best run came in the outdoor hard court Challenger Tour event in Manama. He's also playing in his first clay court tournament of the year.
Tirante won 35 matches on this surface last year with two Challenger Tour titles won but only one win on the ATP Tour. He's 92nd in the live rankings, just three below Garin. We tip more than 20.5 games in this match.
