Marius Copil

Marius Copil debuts on clay this year, the last game on this surface being last year at the French Open in round 1 and lost to Checchinato.Marius makes the discordant note of the other Romanian players, as clay is not a good and favored area for the game, based on the very strong service in particular and on swift exchanges. In fact, last year, he did not make any victory on the main board of an ATP tournament on clay, the only success being recorded in qualifiers, against modest players.The child traverses a very weak form this season, caused perhaps by the breakup after only a few months by Andrei Pavel, the one with whom he managed to reach close to the top 50. The apogee was reached in the Davis Cup, where he managed his “performance” Lose in 2 sets against a Zimbabwean player ranked at position 546.This is a good time for the novel to climb again in the standings, not having last year’s points.

Leonardo Mayer

Argentinian Leonardo Mayer is a slave specialist, like most players from Maradona’s country. For Mayer, the clay season debuted early this year, since February, when he participated in a series of tours in South America, unfortunately for him without success, managing only 2 wins and counting no less than 4 defeats .Last week he took part in the qualifiers of the prestigious Monte Carlo tournament, where he surprisingly surrendered to Australian Popyrin since the first game.Perhaps paradoxical for a specialist in this area, but it is only the second time in Barcelona, the first one happening in 2015 when he is the 21st ATP, and the second one even last year, when he succeeded the only victory in the capital of Catalunya, against Mischa Zverev.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Child vs L.Mayer

It seems to me an unbalanced duel between a specialist player on this surface and a player whose game is much better on fast surfaces. The child will not be able to use his service as a lethal weapon, and the exchanges will be too long for the novel’s taste. I think the Argentine will be set up without difficulty in 2 sets, and for sure I will bet on a bet on the number of games.
