Martinez beat his compatriot Roberto Bautista-Agut 6-3, 6-2 in the first round of the Rotterdam competition. Pedro made five break points during the match and lost one game on his serve. It was the Spaniard's fourth win in seven matches this season.
Professional qualities
Martinez is a classic Spanish runner. He doesn't have a powerful serve or a killer backhand in his arsenal. He relies on reliable reception and defensive skills, but with this style it is extremely difficult to succeed in the halls. Although sometimes he manages to wear down his opponents to defeat.
Current indicators in the tour
Martinez is the 44th racket of the world at the moment. During his career, the Spaniard has won 16 trophies, one of which is the ATP category. Last season, Pedro was the winner of two dirt challengers held in Girona and Valencia.

Martinez has lost his last six matches against players from the top 20 in the world rankings.

Holger Rune

Current form
Rune started the tournament in Rotterdam with a victory over Lorenzo Sonego (7-6, 6-4). During the match, Holger made five aces, made two break points and lost one game on his serve. The Dane has five wins and three losses this year.
Professional qualities
Rune is one of the most talented young tennis players on the tour, apart from Alcaraz and Sinner. He's a real hard worker on the court, preferring to dominate and constantly put pressure on his opponents. His main trait is fearlessness.: even in the most difficult situation, he won't flinch and will score a great winner. However, the Dane's problem is instability — he still cannot find consistency in his game.

2.14Tip and bets
Rune is not Bautista-Agut, whom Martinez managed to overcome in the first round of the competition in Rotterdam. Holger is a completely different level, especially on indoor hard court. The Dane is rightfully considered one of the best players in the halls, while the Spaniard is a pronounced grounder, whose game is not adapted to indoor courts. We believe that Rune will easily confirm the status of the favorite in this pair.
Our forecast is that Rune will win with a handicap of (-5) games for a coefficient of 1.93
Bet on the total
Rune is clearly stronger than Martinez at the moment. Especially on indoor hard court, where Pedro knows practically nothing, since all his skills are provided for ground coverings. We expect that this match will not last long.
The second forecast is a total of less than 21 games for a coefficient of 1.76
Bet on the first set
In three of Rune's last five matches, he played less than 9.5 games in the first set. We expect that the upcoming match against Martinez will also start with the "grassroots" first game.
