Prediction published on 13/07/2023, 01:16  by Kennedy Kechula in Tennis Predictions

World number 175 Franco Agamenone will on Thursday at the Brawo Open seek his first win against top seed Daniel Altmaier. The winner of this quarterfinal tie will play either Benjamin Hassan or August Holmgren, both qualifiers, in the semifinals. Daniel Altmaier is a former champion here. He won the title in 2021 which is also the first and last time he had made it to this round. And having defeated Agamenone before on clay, he will be confident of keeping this record with this latest encounter. The German has been in fine form on clay in 2023 where 16 of his 24 wins have come. His exceptional performances have yielded one title already on the surface in Sarasota which is his fourth successive challenger title on clay. Altmaier is yet to drop a set in Braunschweig. In his last match, he overpowered Francesco Passaro by the loss of just two games. He is now up to 63rd in the live ranking.

Franco Agamenone is up one place to 174th in the live ranking. This is after he defeated sixth seed Taro Daniel in three sets in the last round. Coming from a set down, the Italian was able to secure his 13th win of the season with all victories coming on clay. He has struggled to take charge of his season and has been defeated 18 times, 14 on clay. Agamenone made his Braunschweig debut last season but was defeated in the second round. Despite his struggles, he is a strong performer on clay and the three challenger titles in his career have come on the surface. The last time he battled Altmaier, the match lasted well over two hours. He has won two tie-breaks in the competition and this should have him confident of prolonging his stay past this round.
