40-year-old Stan Wawrinka will face Spain's Pedro Martinez in the second round of the 2025 Tiriac Open in Bucharest on Thursday, April 3. It will be their third overall meeting.

Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka earned a hard-fought win against World No. 174 Timofey Skatov in the first round. The match lasted for 3 hours and 18 minutes as Wawrinka won 6-4, 6-7(5), 7-6(1).

It marked Wawrinka's first ATP Tour main draw win of the season, as he ended his six match losing streak on the Tour. He also became only the third player to win an ATP Tour match on clay after turning 40.

Meanwhile, 27-year-old Martinez is winless since February. The Spaniard has lost his last six matches, which includes a defeat at the Phoenix Challenger.

World No. 47 Martinez reached his career-high ranking of World No. 36 in February, but could fall out of the Top 50 if his losing streak continues. He held a 6-9 win-loss record on the ATP Tour in 2024.

Stan Wawrinka vs Pedro Martinez prediction

Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka aims to reach his first ATP clay court quarterfinal since his final appearance at the Croatia Open in Umag in July 2023.

Wawrinka broke Roger Federer's record and became the oldest player from Switzerland to win an ATP Tour match earlier this week and it will now be interesting to see if he can reach the quarterfinal.

Martinez reached the semifinal of the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires in February, but he received a walkover against Lorenzo Musetti in the quarterfinals. His only other quarterfinals appearance this season was at the 2025 ABN Amro Open, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets.

The Spaniard has reached three ATP Tour level finals in his career, all on clay. His last ATP final appearance was at the 2024 Estoril Open, where he lost to Hubert Hurkacz.

While a close match between Wawrinka and Martinez is anticipated, Wawrinka's current motivation and experience may give him the edge, potentially extending Martinez's losing streak.

Pick: Stan Wawrinka to win three sets
