The 71st edition of the ATP Barcelona Open gets underway and promises plenty of excitement on the dirt. With defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz not in the mix, expect plenty of motivation to get a new champion. We examine three matches on the cards on Day 1 to predict who will advance to the next round.
ATP Barcelona Day 1 Predictions
Pedro Cachin vs Harold Mayot
Head–to–Head: First Meeting
Pedro Cachin currently holds the unenviable record as the player with the longest winless streak on tour and there doesn’t seem to be any respite in sight despite playing on his preferred clay surface.
Cachin will find it difficult against a young Harold Mayot who was brilliant in qualifying and will be eager to make the most of his debut here
Prediction: Mayot in 3
