Estoril Predictions & Picks — July 22, 2026

A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Alexander Blockx goes up against Kyrian Jacquet in the Estoril round of 16. Alexander Blockx limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 6 wins in 10. Kyrian Jacquet has dropped 3 straight and sits at 2-8 over the last ten.

There is no history here: this is their first tour-level meeting.

The serve is where this match separates: Blockx has been winning 77.2% of first-serve points to Jacquet's 71.8%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. Jacquet comes in off a compressed schedule. Anything other than a Blockx win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.

Hugo Gaston and Titouan Droguet meet in the round of 16 at Estoril on Wednesday. Titouan Droguet is 7-3 across recent matches. Hugo Gaston is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (5 of the last 10).

The ledger favors Hugo Gaston, 1-0 across their 1 meetings with Titouan Droguet.

Hold strength tells the story — 73.4% versus 65.7% on first-serve points in Droguet's favor. Anything other than a Droguet win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.

A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Nuno Borges goes up against Roman Andres Burruchaga in the Estoril round of 16. Nuno Borges is 6-4 across recent matches. Roman Andres Burruchaga is 4-6 across recent matches.

This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.

Hold strength tells the story — 72.2% versus 65.5% on first-serve points in Borges's favor. Borges comes in off a compressed schedule; Burruchaga comes in off a compressed schedule. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Borges is exactly that — a lean.
