Leonardo Mayer vs Nicolas Jarry Prediction
These two players met once in the first round of the Australian Open 2018 when Mayer secured a comfortable straight sets win. On clay, there isn’t much between them, and both are capable of beating each other.
Nicolas Jarry News
Entering a European clay tournament for the first time since Lyon Challenger 2017, Nicolas Jarry faced a first-round exit at the hands of Benoit Paire at ATP Barcelona last week. With one more week of stay in Europe under his belt now, he should be hoping to put up a better show at Estoril this time around.
The Chilean probably would have already exceeded the expectations he set himself for the 2018 season. He made his maiden tour-level quarterfinal appearance at Quito, maiden semifinal at Rio de Janeiro and maiden final at Sao Paulo. So far this season, he has won 15 matches from 24 outings.
Only for the second time this season, he lost back-to-back matches when he lost to Diego Schwartzman (Davis Cup) and Benoit Paire (Barcelona) in the recent weeks.
Nicolas Jarry made his Estoril debut in 2017 but failed in the qualifying stages against Ernesto Escobedo.
Leonardo Mayer News
Leonardo Mayer scored a dominant win over Mischa Zverev in the first round of Barcelona last week to maintain his good record of winning the first round matches in the recent months. Since the start of the season, only twice he has faced first-round exits (Brisbane and Rio) with the recent one coming against Fernando Verdasco at Rio in February.

After progressing to the quarterfinal of Estoril in 2016, the Argentinian opted to enter the clay Challenger events during this period of the calendar in 2017, where he did not enjoy much success.
Earlier this season (before Barcelona), Mayer entered three clay tournaments and made the quarterfinal in two of them, at Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo.
