Cerundolo vs Boyer Prediction 30 July 2026
🔊 Francisco Cerundolo returns to the Los Cabos courts for the first time since Wimbledon, entering in the second round. His opponent is Tristan Boyer, who opened the tournament with a somewhat surprising win over former world No. 33 Gabriel Diallo. What makes it more impressive - Boyer came through qualifying and has dropped zero sets across three wins to reach the round of 16. Now he gets another top opponent, this time a third seed.

Head-to-head statistics Cerundolo - Boyer
Francisco Cerundolo Player Overview
Francisco Cerundolo arrives in decent form - seven wins from his last ten matches. His most recent tournament was Wimbledon, where he lost in the first round, though before that he won a grass-court title in London. He wins 54% of games and close to 60% of sets on average - consistent across most matches. On serve, though, he holds only 69% of points. That's below the ATP Tour average and a modest number for a top-20 player. Worth noting that his main weapon is return - Cerundolo converts 40% of break points.

Tristan Boyer Player Overview
Tristan Boyer has been solid over the past few weeks - seven wins from his last ten, though two of those came via retirement. One of them was in qualifying here in Los Cabos, which didn't stop him from beating Gabriel Diallo in straight sets in the first round of the main draw (7-5, 6-2). His serve is a genuine weapon: 75% of points won, well above what you'd expect from someone ranked outside the top 100. He's also decent on return - 42% break-point conversion - and takes over half of all games played (52%).

Key factors
- Over 22.5 games has landed in 6 of Francisco Cerundolo's last 7 matches.
- Both players win more than half the games in their matches - a sign this should be competitive.
- Cerundolo's matches average 31.6 games.
Expected scenario
Neither player is likely to dictate the pace, and there's no obvious reason this ends quickly. Cerundolo is the clear favourite, but his return-heavy style doesn't translate into constant pressure. Expect a fight in most sets - a third is a real possibility. Even in two, the score should be tight.
Total Prediction
The Argentine's recent match stats back up a pattern of long matches with high game counts. He hasn't dropped a set in Los Cabos yet, but both completed matches went to extra games - including one tie-break. Cerundolo's numbers tell an even clearer story: his average total games exceeds 30.
⭐ Editor's prediction
Both second-round players at Los Cabos are in decent form and winning a high share of their own service points - which tends to push match lengths up. A deciding set or two tight ones is a real possibility, driven mainly by the Argentine's tendency to trade service holds even on fast surfaces. Just look at the London 500: 4 of his 5 matches there went to three sets. Given all that, over 20.5 games makes sense here.
