Juan Manuel Cerundolo vs Felix Auger-Aliassime prediction

Felix Auger-Aliassime is still searching for his best level on clay following a strong run on hard courts. 

The Canadian won the title in Montpellier and reached the last four in Doha before finishing as runner-up in Dubai, but he’s yet to ignite on the dirt. 

Back-to-back defeats in Monte Carlo and Munich against opponents he’d expect to beat leave him with plenty of points to defend in the Spanish capital after reaching the final at this tournament last year. 

Next up, FAA meets clay-specialist Juan Manuel Cerundolo after the Argentine backed up his progress through qualifying with a first-round comeback success over Aleksandar Kovecevic.

Auger-Alliassime should have too much fire-power in the fast conditions, but if he doesn’t adjust to the altitude quickly and land that hefty first serve regularly, life could get tricky.
