ATP Madrid Day 4 Predictions Including Rafael Nadal vs Alex de Minaur

The hottest ticket yet at the ATP Madrid Open will involve the match between five-time champion Rafael Nadal and World #11 Alex de Minaur at Manolo Santana Stadium. It’s a rematch from a week ago in Barcelona, where de Minaur became the first Australian man to defeat the legendary Spaniard on clay. Will lightning strike twice, or will Nadal avenge that loss?

ATP Madrid Day 4 Predictions

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Adrian Mannarino

Head-to-head: Mannarino 1-0 Auger-Aliassime

Mannarino’s purple period might be over. With his 36th birthday coming up in a couple of months, it will be highly unlikely that he will defy biology and summon that high-level tennis he displayed in the second half of last season on a consistent basis. It’s now one win in six for the French lefty. Auger-Aliassime, meanwhile, has repaired his confidence. He was a quarterfinalist in Munich, losing only to eventual champion Struff. He got his Madrid campaign off to a great start with a strong comeback against Nishioka. It will be the Canadian who will have the ball on a string here and will dictate the outcome.
Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 2
