Landaluce vs Bellucci Prediction 23 August 2026
🔊 In the first round of the ATP 250 in Winston-Salem, Mattia Bellucci will fight to defend his ranking points from last year's second round. The draw has paired him with Martin Landaluce, for whom this American tournament will be a debut. Despite having no experience on the local courts, it is the Spaniard who is favored by the bookmakers. Let's see if he can live up to his status as the betting favorite in this match.
Head-to-Head
📊 Landaluce has won all four head-to-head matches against Bellucci. Notably, both matches on hard court ended in straight-set wins for the Spaniard with a margin of at least four games.
Head-to-head statistics Landaluce - Bellucci
Martin Landaluce Player Overview
Martin Landaluce comes into the match having won four of his last ten meetings. In his three most recent matches at the Cincinnati hard-court Masters 1000, he won twice against opponents of the level of Jack Draper and Matteo Arnaldi, losing only to Tiago Agustin Tirante in the round of 32. Notably, before the previous Masters, the Spaniard was on a five-match losing streak, but, as it appears, returning to his favourite hard courts has had a positive effect on his results. His hard-court numbers also remain high: on serve, Landaluce consistently wins around 80% of service games, and also wins nearly two-thirds of points.
Match Results: Martin Landaluce
Mattia Bellucci Player Overview
Mattia Bellucci has won five of his last ten matches and shows slightly better serving stats than Landaluce: 83% of service games held and 64% first-serve accuracy. However, he trails in the total number of sets and games won over the same stretch. At the same time, the Italian's double fault count is noticeably lower, which points to a more careful approach on serve. That said, this does not affect the average match length in his games, which noticeably exceeds the men's tour threshold, reaching 28.7 games. And in Cincinnati, Mattia performed worse, going out as early as the second round.
Match Results: Mattia Bellucci
Key factors
- Martin Landaluce has won all four head-to-head matches against Mattia Bellucci.
- Two matches on hard court went to the Spaniard, both finishing in two sets.
- Bellucci trails in sets won percentage and games won percentage in recent matches.
- The Italian shows better numbers on serve.
Expected scenario
The main scenario looks like a moderate advantage for Martin Landaluce, based on the head-to-head balance and his superiority in overall stats. The only area where the Italian could compete with the Spaniard is the serve. However, even on serve the numbers are comparable, so Landaluce should be able to keep Bellucci at a comfortable distance on the scoreboard.
Prediction on the outcome
Bellucci's lengthy losing streak against Landaluce strengthens the Spaniard's position as the favorite in this matchup and underlines his psychological advantage ahead of another head-to-head meeting. The recent hard court results also speak in Martin's favor, as both players competed at the same tournament, where Mattia was the one to exit earlier.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Martin Landaluce's confidence in previous head-to-head meetings is backed by an advantage in key metrics: consistent serving and a better set balance suggest another win for the Spaniard. That said, the Italian's serving numbers imply he won't fall too far behind the favorite on the scoreboard, although in their two hard-court matches the margin was four or more games. Either way, the safer bet is to take Landaluce to win outright.
