Juan Manuel Cerundolo vs Martin Landaluce preview
Juan Manuel Cerundolo enters his third-round clash against Martin Landaluce at the 2026 French Open oozing confidence. The 24-year-old Argentine defeated Jacob Fearnley of Great Britain in straight sets in opener and then produced the upset of the tournament as he capitalized on a dehydrated, cramping and out of sorts Jannik Sinner, beating the Italian in five sets after losing the first two and being on the verge of losing the third.
Meanwhile, Landaluce, the 20-year-old Spaniard, needed five sets to win both his first and second-round outings against Juan Carlos Prado Angelo and Vit Kopriva respectively. Landaluce has spent more time on court amid extremely hot conditions in Paris compared to Cerundolo, and this is likely to play a decisive role in the ATP stars’ upcoming contest.
Ahead of the match, Cerundolo has a 7-9 win-loss record so far this year, while Landaluce’s record stands at 9-4.

Juan Manuel Cerundolo vs Martin Landaluce prediction
Despite bookmakers tipping Cerundolo to register a win over Landaluce, the Spaniard is in a good position outlast the emotionally and physically drained Argentine in four sets. Cerundolo is coming off the biggest upset of his career against Sinner, which required massive reserves of stamina. Coming down from that monumental high to face a resilient, rising talent on clay is a brutal letdown spot.
Landaluce has already demonstrated supreme grit in Paris and boasts a formidable all-around game well-suited for Roland Garros. Look for Landaluce to dictate the longer baseline rallies, absorbing Cerundolo’s left-handed angles before capitalizing on a likely sluggish start from the Argentine.
Pick: Landaluce to win in four sets.
Juan Manuel Cerundolo vs Martin Landaluce betting tips
Tip 1: Both players have shown extreme stubbornness and a habit of dropping early sets before fighting back. Given their physical exhaustion and matching grit, this match is highly unlikely to be a straight-sets blowout. Expect a multi-set war that pushes the total games well over the line.
Tip 2: Landaluce has started very slowly in his previous matches, notably dropping the first two sets against Kopřiva 1-6, 2-6. Cerúndolo will look to exploit Landaluce’s early fatigue right out of the gate.
