Lisbon Predictions & Picks — October 20, 2026

A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Calvin Hemery goes up against Raul Brancaccio in the Lisbon round of 32. Calvin Hemery is searching for form, having lost 3 in a row (5 of the last 10). Raul Brancaccio limps in on a 4-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.

Hemery's 72.8% behind the first serve (against 66.3% for Brancaccio) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Hemery fractionally more likely to land the big points.

Tuesday's Lisbon round of 32 pits Alexander Ritschard against Carlos Taberner on clay. Alexander Ritschard has won 6 of the last 10. Carlos Taberner has dropped 3 straight and sits at 3-7 over the last ten.

The serve is where this match separates: Ritschard has been winning 69% of first-serve points to Taberner's 65%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. Little separates them; Ritschard gets the nod on the finest of margins.

Andrea Pellegrino and Pol Martin Tiffon meet in the round of 32 at Lisbon on Tuesday. Andrea Pellegrino limps in on a 3-match losing skid, just 4 wins in 10. Pol Martin Tiffon has won 4 of the last 10.

Andrea Pellegrino simply rates much higher on clay, and our number follows from it. Little separates them; Pellegrino gets the nod on the finest of margins.

Francesco Passaro and Gastao Elias meet in the round of 32 at Lisbon on Tuesday. Francesco Passaro has won 5 in a row and 7 of the last 10 overall. Gastao Elias has dropped 6 straight and sits at 2-8 over the last ten.

There's a wide gap in our ratings on clay, and our number follows from it. Anything other than a Passaro win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.

A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Marco Trungelliti goes up against T. Pereira in the Lisbon round of 32. Marco Trungelliti has won 5 of the last 10. T. Pereira is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (4 of the last 10).

Marco Trungelliti is clearly higher-rated on clay — our number puts Trungelliti around 78%. If Trungelliti plays anywhere close to a normal level, this ends in relatively comfortable fashion.

A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Benjamin Hassan goes up against Nikolas Sanchez Izquierdo in the Lisbon round of 32. Nikolas Sanchez Izquierdo is 7-3 across recent matches. Benjamin Hassan comes in at 6 wins from the last ten.

On paper it's close: comparable ratings, comparable serve numbers, small margins everywhere. The edge belongs to Izquierdo — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
