ATP Marrakech Day 3 Predictions Including Luciano Darderi vs Mattia Bellucci

Five matches are scheduled on Day 3 of the ATP 250 in Marrakech. One of them will be the first round match between Hamad Medjedovic and Vit Kopriva, who arrived late after participating in the Napoli Challenger. The remaining four games will determine the first group in the quarterfinals. Who will continue?

ATP Marrakech Day 3 Predictions

Corentin Moutet vs Taha Baadi

Header: first meeting

It was an impressive opening day for the locals, who saw Taha Baadi register his first ATP win against Top 100 player Aleksandar Vukic. But this will be a different test. Moutet has the richest tool kit and is one of the best players on tour. The difference here is huge. Moutet’s basic tennis should make life uncomfortable for the home wild card.
Sentence: Moutet in 2

Kamil Majchrzak vs. Marco Trungelliti

Headers: Majchrzak 3-1 Trungelliti

This will be a rematch of last year’s qualifier for the tournament. Majchrzak won the match in straight sets and advanced to the semifinals. That run was crucial to his title win at the Madrid Challenger a week later. This year, Majchrzak has no eligibility burden. His status is at a high level and he entered the main event, where he defeated Juan Manuel Cerundolo.

Trungelliti, for his part, thrives on the African continent. He won the Kigali Challenger a few weeks ago and extended his winning streak to eight matches thanks to two qualifying wins and a first-round loss to Henrique Rocha in Marrakech. But this game should be on the Pole’s racket. He has a high floor now and controls the rally structure well.
Prophecy: Majchrzak in 2

Yannick Hanfmann vs Karim Bennani

It was a historic opening day in Marrakech where two wild cards could not win. One of them was Karim Bennani, who makes the short list of the most exciting Moroccan tennis players. Home power can spice things up, but Hanfmann is a big player with a heavy hand. While the same was said about Quentin Halys, who was eventually beaten by Bennani in the first round, Hanfmann is a solid mover on this one. His shooting weight should be heavy for an 18-year-old.
Prediction: Hanfmann at 2

Vit Kopriva vs Hamad Medjedovic

Headers: Medjedovic 1-0 Kopriva

Kopriva had a worrying upset against Francesco Forti in the first round of the Napoli Challenger. Medjedovic was active in the same tournament last week and went on to win it, beating Daniel Altmaier in the final. After two poor opening games, the Serbian played flawless tennis from the quarter stage. He’ll be riding that wave of power here and I think that form leads to a one-sided win.
Prediction: Medjedovic at 2

Luciano Darderi vs Mattia Bellucci

Goals: Darderi 1-1 Bellucci

For Darderi, Sunshine Swing was an unforgettable experience. He went 0-2 in Indian Wells and Miami, and the Italian will be looking for his first win since lifting the ATP title in Santiago during the Golden Swing. Bellucci survived a real scare in her opening match this week, defeating Reda Bennani’s home card in three sets. It was his first victory on clay since the 2025 edition of the tournament. Recent results should not matter here. Clay is Darderi’s most natural habitat. He won 30 games on the surface last year and is expected to bounce back after not seeing well on hard courts.
Prediction: Darderi in 2
