Balazs Returning to the Fold
Attila Balazs of Hungary is seeking a late revival after spending the last few seasons away from the action.
From 2020 to 2022, he managed just 17 wins while losing 18; a significant majority of those stats were incurred in the first year.
The 34-year-old competed in the Monte Carlo Masters last week, starting as a qualifier. Playing in his first match since the Wimbledon Championships in 2022, the Hungarian lost that match to Luca Van Assche 6-2, 6-0.
Chances of Attila incurring such a feat again – this time in Barcelona – are quite high, seeing that he is all out of form. His career hasn’t been particularly awe-inspiring either, with his best feat being the Croatia Open doubles runner-up in 2019. That said, he does have 43 clay finals on the Challenger and Futures tour.

Zapata in his Element
Bernabe Zapata Miralles, current World No. 41, is in a much better position than his Hungarian counterpart. For one, he is ranked some 700-odd places above him and two, he has had a pretty decent year so far.
Admittedly, he did lose to Benjamin Bonzi in Monaco in the opener last week, but that was preceded by several deep runs this year.
The 26-year-old, now 9-10, was a quarterfinalist in Estoril and a semifinalist in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. The best part – all of these are outdoor clay events and have given Bernabe a fair deal of momentum to take on the clay swing.
He also has 15 clay-court finals on lower circuits and it seems to be a matter of time before he bags his first ATP final.
Miralles v Balazs Prediction and Tip
This one is a no-brainer; Miralles is the heavy favourite here and anything short of a straight-set win from him would be really surprising.
