ATP Marrakech Day 4 Predictions Including Stan Wawrinka vs Mariano Navone

Sebastian Ofner vs Aleksandar Vukic

Head-to-Head: Ofner 1-1 Vukic

No. 2 seed Sebastian Ofner opens his spring clay court season against Australian Aleksandar Vukic. Coming off a career year, Ofner has not had the start to the 2024 season he had hoped for. The Austrian is 2-7 over his last nine matches, going 0-3 in the Golden Swing. Vukic has also struggled to open the season but looked comfortable in a straight-set Round 1 win over Alexandre Muller. Nothing of Ofner’s form suggests he’ll win here, but he is the much better clay-courter and is bound to turn around his season over the next two months.

Prediction: Ofner in 3

David Goffin vs Nicolas Moreno De Alboran

Head-to-Head: first meeting

33-year-old David Goffin battled through qualifying and Arthur Rinderknech in Round 1 to set up a second-round match with fellow qualifier Nicolas Moreno De Alboran. Goffin is on the brink of breaking back into the top 100 for the first time in six months and is always a sneaky threat to string together high-level performances. Moreno De Alboran is coming off back-to-back upset wins and has played some solid tennis in 2024. He should push Goffin, but I see the veteran finding a way to the finish line.

Prediction: Goffin in 3

Stan Wawrinka vs Mariano Navone

Head-to-Head: first meeting

39-year-old Stan Wawrinka is still looking to revive his career, and there may be no better opportunity than the 2024 clay season. He took down Albert Ramos Vinolas 6-1 6-4 in Round 1. 23-year-old Mariano Navone has played terrific tennis this year, reaching his first final in Rio in February. Both players strike a clean ball and will not give up points easily. This should be a back-and-forth encounter, but I like the Argentine to find the finish line, given his current form.

Prediction: Navone in 3
