Form & Context
Jarry’s 2025 season has been underwhelming, especially on clay (just 1–6 this year). Once a Top 20 player, he’s now battling inconsistency and struggling to find rhythm. His height and serve can be weapons in Madrid’s altitude—but they haven’t clicked yet this season.
Altmaier, while also inconsistent, enters with slightly better form (9–10 in 2025) and a recent history of tight, grinding matches. He’s known for his grit and mental toughness, especially on slower courts.
Surface Dynamics
Clay gives Altmaier an edge—he won their last meeting on this surface. Though Jarry’s power can be overwhelming, his game often unravels when pushed into long rallies, something Altmaier thrives on.
Nicolas Jarry vs Daniel Altmaier Prediction
This one is a toss-up, but Altmaier’s recent win over Jarry and more solid clay record tip the scales. Expect long rallies, mental swings, and physical grit.
Prediction: Daniel Altmaier in 3 sets.
But don’t count Jarry out—his serve and altitude-friendly game could still cause problems
