Felix Auger Aliassime vs Adrian Mannarino preview

The second round of the 2024 Madrid Open will have two seasoned campaigners — Adrian Mannarino and Felix Auger Aliassime — lock horns for a spot in the last-32.

Mannarino, the 19th seed at this year’s tournament, has not played at any claycourt tournament this season, having withdrawn from the Monte-Carlo Masters.

In fact, the Frenchman has endured a rough 7-9 start to the new year and will be hopeful of turning over a new leaf.

Felix Auger Aliassime vs Adrian Mannarino prediction

Mannarino has a negative win-loss for the season.
Mannarino has a negative win-loss for the season.

Neither Adrian Mannarino and Felix Auger Aliassime are entirely comfortable on clay, but the latter has made two Tour-level finals on the surface.

The Canadian’s powerful game is built around a big serve, which was firing on all cylinders in the opener against Yoshihito Nishioka. He thundered down 11 aces and won an impressive 81% of the points behind his first serve.

Mannarino, on the other hand, does not possess a standout weapon and instead relies on his versatility to win matches. That said, the front court skills and flat groundstrokes are unlikely to deal a lot of damage.

All things considered, Auger Aliassime has both the skills and momentum to steal a win.

Prediction: Auger Aliassime to win in three sets
