Felix Auger Aliassime vs Maximilian Marterer Prediction & Picks - ATP Munich Open

Prediction published on 4/15/24, 2:09 PM  by Drew Williamson | Modified on 4/15/24 at 4:09 PM in Tennis Picks

Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime takes on Germany's Maximilian Marterer in the round of 16 at the ATP 250 tournament in Munich, Germany. Felix Auger-Aliassime just won his first round match at the Monte-Carlo Masters 1000 Tournament against Luca Nardi in just 2 sets, before losing to Lorenzo Sonego in the next round. The Canadian has performed well recently, winning his opening rounds at both Indian Wells (against Constant Lestienne) and in Miami (against Adam Walton), without losing a set. Maximilian Marterer, meanwhile, is on a run of three consecutive defeats, all on clay. He forfeited the second round of the Naples Challenger to Frenchman Ugo Blanchet, then failed to progress beyond the first round of the Estoril tournament against Dominic Thiem, ranked 97th in the world. He followed this up with a third defeat, losing in the first round of the Monte-Carlo Masters 1000 qualifying round to the 62nd-ranked Christopher O'Connell. The clay court has proven difficult for him, having already lost his last two matches to conclude his season, the German is unlikely to arrive at the first round of this tournament feeling very serene, despite the fact that it will be played in front of his home crowd.
