He defeated Marcos Giron of the USA 6-1, 6-4 in the first round of the Olympics.
Maximilian Marterer is having a woeful season in 2024. The German has a very poor 2-12 record for this year. The record is indicative of the fact that Marterer has struggled to make it to the main draws of the ATP events, and even when he has made it through, he has lost in the first rounds.
However, both wins for Marterer came on the clay. He won against Soonwo Kwon in the first round of the Hamburg Open and defeated Jordan Thompson in the opening round of the 2024 French Open. At the Olympics, Marterer won against Dusan Lajovic of Serbia in the first round after a tough three-set battle.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Maximilian Marterer prediction
Even though Auger-Aliassime's performances on clay have been good this year, the red dirt has been the Achilles heel for the Candian over his career. Aliassime has a 55 percent win ratio on the clay surfaces in his career. He has a mere 6-5 record at Roland Garros with fourth-round appearances in 2022 and 2024 being his best results on the Parisian clay.
Marterer's form has not been up to the standards required at the ATP level. However, when he faced off against Auger-Aliassime earlier this year in Munich, the match was an extremely competitive contest. All three sets went to tiebreaks, and the Canadian had to hold on to his composure to see off the German opponent.
Given his current form and ranking, Auger-Aliassime is the undisputed favorite going in this match. Although given the previous encounter between the two players on clay, the match has the potential of going three sets.
Pick- Felix Auger-Aliassime to win in three sets.
