ATP Bucharest Day 2 Predictions
\nFrancesco Maestrelli vs Botic van de Zandschulp<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

Maestrelli went on a tear at the ATP Challenger Tour level towards the end of 2025 and into this season. The Italian will have a bigger challenge to overcome at Tour-level, as he\u2019s looking for a second ATP Tour main-draw win this season. Van de Zandschulp hasn\u2019t had the best campaign in 2026, but he is consistent on clay courts and should have the answers for the underdog.
Prediction: Van De Zandschulp\u00a0in 2<\/p>\n

Damir Dzumhur vs Filip Cristian Jianu<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

Jianu reached a career-high ranking of No. 210 last season, months after he claimed his first Tour-level win at the 2025 edition of this tournament. He\u2019ll have some points to defend and pressure to face, as he\u2019s been largely battling at the ITF-level. Dzumhur has had a rough road in 2026, with a 3-9 record, and has faced puzzling losses to lower-ranked opponents. The pressure of backing up a big result may be a challenge for Jianu, but it should be a close one.
Prediction: Dzumhur in 3<\/p>\n

Roberto Bautista Agut vs Titouan Droguet<\/p>\n

Head-to-head:\u00a0First meeting<\/p>\n

At 37 years old, Bautista Agut continues to be a dependable and consistent ballstriker on court<\/a>. He\u2019s been winning the matches he\u2019s supposed to against lower-ranked players, but making a big leap in a tournament has been a challenge for the veteran. Against Droguet, who is 2-3 on clay courts at Tour-level in his career, Bautista Agut should be too solid.
Prediction: Bautista Agut in 2<\/p>\n

Daniel Altmaier vs Pedro Martinez<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: Martinez 2-0<\/p>\n

Altmaier\u2019s one-handed backhand is a weapon to watch, and his patient ballstriking makes him a strength on clay. However, Martinez has been grinding on clay courts all season, sitting out the Sunshine Double hard-court swing. Altmaier just reached the final of an ATP Challenger Tour event in Naples, on clay, meaning some fatigue could carry over. Picking the upset, with Martinez feeling more refreshed.
Prediction: Martinez in 3<\/p>\n
