Championship Sunday is upon us as the final of the Grand Prix Hassan II in Marrakech is set. What is most intriguing about this final is the fact that it not only sees two players vying for what would be a first-ever tour title, but it is also the first ATP Tour final for both men. As always, we will be providing a full breakdown and prediction, but who do you think will come out on top at ATP Marrakech?
ATP Marrakech Final Prediction
Rafael Jodar vs Marco Trungelliti
Head-to-head: first meeting
Both Rafael Jodar and Marco Trungelliti, who were ranked within 20 spots either side of the top 100 entering the tournament, will be eyeing their first ATP Tour title on a surface on which both of them excel the most. For Jodar, this should be the first of many finals in his career, as the teenager becomes the second player from the 2026 to reach this stage. The Spaniard’s run to the final has been dominant, dropping just one set so far, with the highlight being a commanding win over Camilo Ugo Carabelli in the semifinals.
Throughout the week, Jodar has showcased an aggressive brand of tennis, serving big and relying on first-strike play, even on slower clay courts. He has consistently looked to dictate and out-hit his opponents rather than grind rallies. Marco Trungelliti, on the other hand, has taken a completely different route.
Coming through qualifying, Trungelliti has also dropped just one set but has been pushed to the limit, winning multiple tiebreaks and thriving in pressure moments. In doing so, the Argentine also made history by becoming the oldest man to break into the ATP top 100 for the first time. He will now aim to cap off a remarkable week with a maiden ATP title.
To achieve that, Trungelliti will rely on his endurance and experience, looking to absorb Jodar’s aggression, extend rallies, and capitalize in key moments. This contrast in styles makes for a fascinating final. However, Jodar is the player on the rise and has been performing like someone ready for a breakthrough.
If he keeps his head steady, serves well, and does not let the occasion get to him, then in this battle of youth against experience, youth should prevail in a statement victory.
Prediction: Jodar in 2
