After reaching the Bastad semi-finals last week, Francisco Cerundolo is hoping to retain his Croatia Open title this week. The top seed faces unseeded Carlos Taberner in round two of this outdoor clay court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
The victor goes into the quarter-finals and could take on fifth seed Mariano Navone if he gets past either Jesper de Jong or Mili Poljicak.
Cerundolo is 23rd in the live rankings and has a 21-10 record on clay this year. One ATP Tour final has been reached in Buenos Aires with four other semi-final appearances. This is his first match against Taberner.
His opponent is down at 108th in the live rankings. The 27-year-old beat Pierre-Hugues Herbert 6-4 7-6 in round one to take his 2025 clay court record to 29-14. However, most of those wins have come on the Challenger Tour.
He's won two titles on that tour but has failed to get past round two of an ATP Tour event since September 2021. His last five Grand Slam tournaments have all seen the Spaniard lose in the qualifying rounds and he's never won a main draw match at Roland Garros.
Taberner had lost three of his previous four matches on clay before this week.
We tip Cerundolo to win this in straight sets.
