This will be their first meeting.

Landaluce Receives Wild Card
2006-born Martin Landaluce got a wild card entry into the event to try himself among the best players in the world. The teenager has been given chances to play against some good players in the past but he’s not yet proven to be ready for the highest level.
He’s only 4-8 this year with his only solid win over Jozef Kovalik. The rest of his matches usually were losses to players that were currently playing on a higher level than him. He’s yet to beat a top 100 player as he struggled against players who are not even top 200.
He’s a talent that will certainly find a place on the Tour in the future but for now, he’s very limited in the things he can do on a tennis court. Madrid is a place he knows well and the conditions somewhat favour the way he plays but he would need to play a perfect match.
I don’t think he’ll be able to do that against Gasquet.

Gasquet in Search of Wins
Richard Gasquet has 10 wins to his name this year but also ten losses. His start to the year has been pretty solid but in the past few weeks, the level has not been there. On clay he’s only 1-3 and it used to be a really solid surface for him as he went 13-10 just last year.
His last outing was the Srpska Open where he scored his only win on the red dirt and it was a solid two sets of play against teenager Dino Prizmic. His match after that saw him lose to native player Damir Dzumhur who proved better in three sets and it was largely to Gasquet kind of tanking the match due to an apparent injury.
He was up a break early in the final set but his movement deteriorated as the match went and he seemed to be dealing with a leg injury. It’s unclear what happened but Gasquet didn’t speak after the match.
If he is truly hampered for this match then that might be something to look out for but if healthy than this should be a comfortable match. Too much experience for the youngster to handle.
Landaluce v Gasquet Prediction and Tip
As noted above this is a match that Gasquet should win in two simple sets. If he’s truly injured than Landaluce could make it interesting so be careful about this one. We’ll operate under the premise that Gasquet will be fit.
