Matteo Berrettini will compete this week in Santiago as the sixth seed and begins his tournament in the first round against Emiliano Nava. This is their first career meeting. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Emiliano Nava is seeking to end a run of two losses to begin his clay court campaign. The American, who is playing in the main draw in Chile for the first time, has lost both of his outings on clay.
He lost in Buenos Aires at the start of the Golden Swing and then in Rio most recently. In both matches, Nava, who has compiled a 5-5 record, has failed to win a set.
This negative run has seen him drop to 79th in the ATP world rankings.
Matteo Berrettini has fared better on clay than Nava but has struggled for consistency, just like the American. A six-time tour champion on clay, Berrettini has won three of five matches so far in 2026.
He started his season with the start of the Golden Swing and has competed in Rio and Buenos Aires. Berrettini is coming off a quarter-final finish in Rio.
The former top 10 player has struggled with injuries and a loss of form. He dropped out of the ATP’s top 100, but is now slowly moving up the rankings and is currently ranked 67th in the world.

As they begin a new week seeking a season turnaround, we expect an intensely fought-out match that could go the full distance.
Both players are clay court specialists and have won over 100 matches on such surfaces. Berrettini, though, is the more consistent tour performer and should show his pedigree here.
