Hubert Hurkacz vs Pedro Martinez prediction
Hurkacz heads into the Estoril Open final as the slight favorite given his current form and big-match experience.
The Pole has had a decent start to 2024, with 18 wins out of 26 matches and an Australian Open quarterfinal appearance under his belt. Into his first final of the year, Hurkacz looks in prime position to lift his first title since the Shanghai Masters which he won last year against Andrey Rublev.
The Pole has looked solid all week despite his taxing three-setter in the semi-finals. He will look to close out the week with a win.
Martinez too has had a great week in Estoril, having racked up some impressive wins against the likes of Roberto Bautista Agut, Richard Gasquet, and defending champion Casper Ruud. He's displayed incredible skill on both wings throughout the week and has remained solid on serve.
The Spaniard will need to serve well and outmuscle his opponent from the baseline should he stand a chance to lift his second ATP tour title.
While Hurkacz walks into the encounter the favorite, there is no discounting another upset from Martinez.
Pick: Hurkacz to win in straight sets.
