Day 2 Predictions for ATP Marrakech: Majchrzak vs. Cerundolo
Day 2 at the ATP 250 tournament in Marrakech serves up several intriguing first-round matches.
Our Day 2 Predictions for ATP Marrakech feature the seeded Kamil Majchrzak and Juan Manuel Cerundolo.
Matches to watch
Mattia Bellucci vs Reda Bennani
Reda Bennani is a 19-year-old wild card making his Tour-level debut.
He has not played on the Challenger Tour and will rely on local support. Mattia Bellucci has struggled this season but carries the edge. Prediction: Bellucci in 2.
Hugo Gaston vs Luca Van Assche
Clay remains Hugo Gaston’s strongest surface, yet this is his first clay match this season.
Luca Van Assche arrives in better overall form but is less comfortable on clay. Expect a tight encounter with Gaston’s variety deciding matters. Prediction: Gaston in 3.
Dusan Lajovic vs Rafael Jodar
Rafael Jodar is a 19-year-old Spaniard on an upward trajectory.
His big-strike game suits higher altitude conditions. Dusan Lajovic brings experience and qualified into the main draw, but consistency has been a problem. Prediction: Jodar in 3.
Kamil Majchrzak vs Juan Manuel Cerundolo
Kamil Majchrzak is seeded fifth at the event and reached the semifinals here last year.
This Majchrzak vs. Cerundolo meeting is their first. Majchrzak is playing the best tennis of his life, and the Marrakech altitude aids his game. Cerundolo has already logged several clay matches this season. Prediction: Majchrzak in 3.
