Stan Wawrinka and Pedro Martinez are set to square off in the second round of the Tiriac Open. The two players meet for the third time, with the winner scheduled to face Filip Cristian Jianu or Damir Dzumhur. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Wildcard Wawrinka overcame qualifier Timofey Skatov in three sets in the first round. The 40-year-old is having a strong start to the season, currently on a 4-6 record.

However, three of his wins came on clay courts. Before getting to Bucharest, he had reached the Naples quarter-finals. This is Wawrinka’s third appearance here, having made his debut 21 years ago.

He is advancing to the second round for the first time ever.

The only meeting between these two on clay was in Bordeaux last year. Martinez won that to level the head-to-head numbers at 1-1.

Now he looks to have the edge, but his form this season has been so poor. Martinez, seeded second at Bucharest, had a first round bye. However, he arrives for this match winless in his last six outings.

In that run he has managed just one set. His highlight for the season is a semi-final appearance in Buenos Aires, and even there, he had a walkover in the quarter-final.

Martinez won just two of his last nine completed matches and has a 7-10 record.
