Martinez and Fils will face off in the second round of the Barcelona tournament on April 16.

Command Analysis
Pedro Martinez
SpainCurrent form
Martinez scored a 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 victory over Brandon Nakashima in the first round of the competition in Barcelona. Pedro scored two aces, made three break points, and lost two games on his serve. For the Spaniard, it was his fifth victory on clay this season with five defeats.
Professional qualities
Martinez is a typical slow court specialist. He lacks explosive serve, powerful forehand and aggressiveness, which prevents him from showing a high level of play on fast surfaces. Nevertheless, it often works effectively at the reception. In draws, Pedro prefers protracted exchanges of punches on the back line, waiting for opponents to make mistakes, but this style of play does not always work against top tennis players.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season brought Martinez victories at competitions in Girona and Valencia - both tournaments were held on clay. During his career, the 27-year-old Spaniard has won 16 trophies, including one in the ATP category. Pedro is currently ranked 49th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
The last three matches with Martinez ended in three games.
Arthur Fils
FranceCurrent form
Fils beat Pablo Carreno Busta 7-6, 6-3 in the first round of the Barcelona tournament. Arthur made four aces, made two break points and lost one game on his serve. The Frenchman has scored four wins and suffered only one defeat on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Fils demonstrates assertive and attacking tennis. His first serve creates a lot of problems for his opponents, and his technical forehand with good top spin, confident play at the net and high speed of movement around the court make him an extremely uncomfortable opponent. Add to this composure and stability, and we have a player who can gain a foothold in the top 10 of the world ranking.
Current indicators in the tour
Fils currently occupies the 14th place in the world ranking. During his career, the 20-year-old Frenchman has won five trophies, three of which are in the ATP category. Last season, he won on clay in Bordeaux and Hamburg, and won the outdoor hard court competition in Tokyo.
