With nine intriguing first-round matches on the slate on day two at the ATP Umag Open, there should be plenty of entertaining tennis. As always, we here at LWOT will be offering our predictions for every match, including Daniel Altmaier vs Corentin Moutet and Aljaz Bedene vs Marco Cecchinato. But who will secure their spot in the second round?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head: <\/strong>first meeting<\/p>\n Andrea Collarini arrived at the ATP Umag Open after a miserable summer which included first-round defeats in the qualifying at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. But he found some form to get the better of Daniel Masur and Vitaliy Sachko. Duje Ajdukovic has been performing more consistently, reaching back-to-back quarterfinals at Challenger-level in Milan and Iasi, the former as a qualifier. Collarini does have the advantage in terms of experience, but it is surely the Croatian Ajdukovic who has the higher ceiling. He will have to contend with the pressure of playing on home turf, but he has played well enough lately to suggest that this is a winnable match.<\/p>\n Prediction: Ajdukovic in 3
