Monteiro vs Navone ATP Antwerp Match Prediction
Montiero and Navarro will face off on October 14 in the opening round of the tournament in Antwerp. This match will mark Navarro's first experience playing indoors. His lack of familiarity with this surface could pose a significant challenge for the Argentine player. On the other hand, Montiero has already adapted to indoor hard courts and has shown solid performance throughout his career. What can we expect from this upcoming match? Detailed analysis and betting odds for this encounter can be found in our preview.

Command Analysis

Thiago Monteiro

Current Form
Monteiro recently competed in a Challenger event in Bad Waltersdorf, where he made it to the quarterfinals on clay. However, he has yet to participate in any indoor hard court matches this season.
Professional Qualities
Monteiro is a typical clay court player who favors a strategic game. His strength lies in a powerful forehand, while his backhand, particularly in an offensive role, remains a weakness. He overcomes this flaw with determination and the ability to position himself for his forehand. His serve is average by tour standards and his limited shot selection restricts his ability to diversify his play.
Current Tour Statistics
Monteiro is currently ranked 77th in the world rankings. He showed his best performance this season on his preferred clay surface, reaching the semifinals at the Santa Cruz Challenger in March and again at the Salzburg Challenger in July.
Betting Insights
Monteiro last played on indoor courts in October 2022.

Mariano Navone

Current Form
Navone quickly packed up his racquet at the recent Masters in Shanghai, losing in the first round to Kei Nishikori. It’s worth noting that Marino is primarily a clay court specialist and has yet to play a single indoor match in his career.
Professional Qualities
Navone is a clay court expert. His career is closely tied to slow surfaces, where he feels most at ease. His two-handed backhand, known for its precision and sharpness, is one of the key weapons in his arsenal. Mariano excels in long rallies, patiently waiting for his opponent to make mistakes while minimizing his own.
Current Tour Performance
This season, Navone has one trophy to his name, having claimed victory on clay in Cagliari. This marked his sixth career title. As a reminder, Mariano currently sits at 38th in the world rankings.
Interesting Betting Facts
The upcoming match on indoor hard court will be Navone’s first ever in his professional career.
