The ATP BMW Open in Munich brings together clay-court specialists and out-of-form contenders looking to reset their seasons. Wednesday’s matchups promise a mix of intrigue, momentum shifts, and surface battles with bigger tests looming. As always we bring you predictions for all the matches on offer but who will progress?

ATP Munich Day 2 Predictions

Jiri Lehecka vs Luciano Darderi

Head-to-Head: Darderi 1-0 Lehecka

Jiri Lehecka and Luciano Darderi will cross paths for the second time; Darderi enters with strong momentum, having recently secured the Grand Prix Hassan II title in Marrakech and winning nine of his last ten matches. Lehecka, while ranked higher, has experienced a dip in form, with only one win in his last six matches. Their previous encounter on clay saw Darderi triumph in a tight three-set match. Considering current form and surface preference, Darderi appears poised to extend his winning streak.
Prediction: Darderi in 2

Francisco Cerundolo vs Jan-Lennard Struff

Head-to-Head: first meeting

Francisco Cerundolo enters with strong clay-court form, boasting a 25–11 record on the surface over the past year, including a tournament win. Jan-Lennard Struff, the defending champion in Munich, has struggled recently with a 3–10 record this season, but his history of strong performances on clay and home-court advantage make him a potential threat. This will be their first meeting, and while Cerundolo’s current form makes him the favorite, Struff’s experience at this venue could make for a tightly contested match.
Prediction: Cerundolo in 3

Ugo Humbert vs Nicolas Jarry

Head-to-Head: Humbert 2-0 Jarry

Ugo Humbert leads their head-to-head 2–0, though both wins came on hard courts, and this will be their first meeting on clay. Neither player has found much rhythm lately–Humbert has cooled off after a strong start to the season, while Nicolas Jarry hasn’t made it past the second round at any event this year. Despite Jarry’s natural game being well-suited to clay, his current form casts doubt on his chances. If Humbert can adapt to the surface, he may be better positioned to advance.
Prediction: Humbert in 3
