🔍 Match Breakdown

Marozsan is riding momentum with a flawless start to the season but steps onto clay for the first time in 2025. His power, depth, and aggressive baseline game may carry over well—but red clay demands patience.

Dzumhur, on the other hand, thrives on this surface and has been building steady form in recent clay tournaments. He may lack Marozsan's firepower, but his court craft and experience could prove disruptive if the match goes long.

🔮 Prediction

🧩 Prediction: Marozsan in 3 sets

Expect an early push from Dzumhur and plenty of long rallies, but if Marozsan can settle into the clay rhythm, his baseline dominance should eventually tilt the match in his favor. Don't rule out a tactical battle, though—Dzumhur has the tools to make it tricky.
