Just as in Marrakesh this weekend, we will see a first-time ATP Tour winner in this outdoor clay court tournament in Bucharest. Seventh seed Mariano Navone takes on qualifier Daniel Merida Aguilar in the final of the Tiriac Open. Time for our match prediction.
Mariano Navone is playing in his second final in this tournament in three years. He has won one title this year but that in a hard court event played on the Challenger Tour. Navone began this week with two straight sets wins.
That's changed though with a set lost in both of his next two against Alex Molcan and eighth-seed Botic van de Zandschulp. More than 19.5 games have been played in eight of his last ten matches.
He won the only previous match between these two players but a deciding set was needed.
Daniel Merida Aguilar had never got past round one of an ATP Tour event before this week. He has had to win six matches this week to reach this final. Each of his last four matches have gone to a deciding set.
He's beaten the second seed Adrian Mannarino and on Saturday defeated third seed Fabian Marozsan. That took him to a career-high 101st in the live rankings, 55 below Navone. We tip more than 19.5 games to be played here.
