FAQ: Men's Challenger Tournament, Valencia on clay court.
Recommended bet amount (bankroll): 2 %
Justification: Pedro Martinez Portero (45. present, his best is 40.) is beginning to approach his all-time highest world ranking (2022), which is obviously contributed by his particularly strong season on clay (25 W – 13 L). And what is a top 50 player doing at a relatively low-level tournament? Well, he was born in the city of Valencia, so he’s practically competing at home! This obviously may mean extra motivation and full support from the local audience for him. And although on the other side, there is a former top 50 player in Daniel Elahi Galan Riveros (127.), the Columbian player’s career has stagnated a bit in the last year. He is constantly moving between ATP and Challenger level, and it’s hard to decide where he really belongs? He is in good form, reached the finals last week in Braga, but perhaps because of this, he showed signs of fatigue in the past few days. This will be his 8th match within 10 days, which may be too exhausting for him at this level.
