Basilashvili vs Mannarino Prediction 23 October 2026
🔊 In the previous round in Almaty, Adrian Mannarino caused an upset against Andrey Rublev and now faces Nikoloz Basilashvili. Although both players are currently outside the top 50 - and the Georgian is not even inside the top 100 - they have each reached their second ATP quarter-final in under two months. Both veterans are over 34, yet at their peak they were inside the world's top 20. Let's consider who has the better chance of recapturing that form in Kazakhstan.
Head-to-Head
📊 Adrian Mannarino leads the head-to-head record with three wins from four meetings. On indoor courts, the record stands at 2-1 in the Frenchman's favour.
Head-to-head statistics Basilashvili - Mannarino
Nikoloz Basilashvili Player Overview
Nikoloz Basilashvili arrives at the quarter-final in strong form - eight wins from his last ten matches. During the autumn swing he reached the semi-finals at the ATP 250 in Chengdu, having come through qualifying. In Almaty he also started from qualifying and has not dropped a set on his way to this stage. In the main draw he beat former US Open champion Marin Cilic 6-2, 7-5 and Facundo Diaz Acosta 6-2, 6-4. He has won 57% of games and 81% of sets. On serve, Nikoloz is winning 76% of points, which has allowed him to control matches even against higher-ranked opponents.
Match Results: Nikoloz Basilashvili
Adrian Mannarino Player Overview
Adrian Mannarino is also in decent form, with seven wins from his last ten matches. The coming quarter-final will be his second of the autumn - the first was also in Chengdu. In Almaty he beat Alexandar Vukic (7-6, 4-6, 6-3) and caused a notable upset against world No. 22 Andrey Rublev (6-4, 3-6, 6-3). His games-won rate is lower than his upcoming opponent's - he wins only half of all points played, and his sets-won percentage stands at just 57%. The Frenchman holds serve in 77% of service games, but unlike Basilashvili he does not have a powerful serve, and instead relies on a return game made distinctive by the unusually low string tension of his racket.
Match Results: Adrian Mannarino
Key factors
- Nikoloz Basilashvili has covered the -1.5 games handicap in 6 of his last 7 matches.
- Over their last ten matches each, Basilashvili has won eight and Adrian Mannarino seven.
- Basilashvili has won 57% of games across his last ten matches.
- Earlier this month the Frenchman beat the Georgian on outdoor hard courts, though Basilashvili retired during the second set.
Expected scenario
The match scenario revolves around Nikoloz Basilashvili's advantage, based on better form over the autumn stretch and stronger overall numbers. His consistency makes it reasonable to expect him to build a comfortable lead on the scoreboard without needing to go to a deciding set. The Georgian's attacking game suits the indoor conditions in Almaty better, while his opponent is left relying on a reactive approach - and at 38, age is likely to be a factor too, particularly after two consecutive three-set matches.
Match Result Prediction
Nikoloz Basilashvili has won 6 of his last 7 matches. His consistent results make him the favourite heading into this quarter-final. His run in Almaty - starting from qualifying and reaching the quarter-final without dropping a set - strengthens the case for a confident performance against Mannarino.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Nikoloz Basilashvili's form is impressive: eight wins and two defeats from ten matches, with a high percentage of games and sets won. He regularly holds the upper hand not only against players at his own level but also against higher-ranked opponents, and a run of successful results covering negative handicaps points to his dominance in straight-sets formats. Despite playing four matches in Almaty, we do not think he has spent more energy than Adrian Mannarino: the Georgian dropped no sets on his way to the quarter-final, while the Frenchman played two consecutive exhausting three-setters. We agree with the bookmakers and back Basilashvili to Win.
