Zapata Miralles In Good Form on Clay in 2023
Bernabe Zapata Miralles comes to Estoril with a 7-8 season record behind him and the Spaniard lost back-to-back first round matches in Indian Wells and Miami.
With the last two defeats, the world no. 41 has now lost all five of his matches on hard courts this year. But hard courts have never been his preferred choice of surface.
He is a clay specialist and on that surface he has a 7-3 record this year. Zapata Miralles reached the round of 16 in Cordoba but followed that up with back-to-back semifinal appearances in Buenos Aires and Rio. The Spaniard had never played in a tour level semifinal before but played two in a row during the Latin American swing.
Thanks to those performances he also broke into the top 50 for the first time.
The 26-year-old will be playing in Estoril for the second time. Last year, on his debut he was beaten in the round of 16.
