Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Daniel Altmaier Tips, Prediction & Live Stream - Can Altmaier go 3-0 vs FAA in Hamburg?

Auger-Aliassime put together a tremendous start to the season, winning two ATP titles and making the final of Dubai, but he comes into this encounter having lost seven of his last eight matches and without a victory on clay for the year.

Altmaier has won 10 of his 16 matches at all levels this European clay swing - including defeating Auger-Aliassime in straight sets at the Monte Carlo Masters. Playing at home in Hamburg, Altmaier will fancy his chances of causing another upset. Three of the four sets these two have contested have resulted in either 7-6 or 7-5 scores, so not much is separating the pair. Auger-Aliassime is the superior player and I'll back the Canadian to overturn this H2H and finally secure a match win on clay for 2025.

As mentioned, Altmaier leads 2-0, winning on hardcourt at Auckland 2024 and on clay at Monte Carlo 2025 in straight sets.

Auger-Aliassime comes into this showdown with a 17-10 record on the season, but with just one victory since February.

Actually, Auger-Aliassime hasn't defeated a top 100 player since making the final of Dubai in February, where he went down to Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The Canadian has since lost seven of his last eight matches, suffering opening round exits in Monte Carlo, Munich, Madrid and the Estoril Challenger so far this clay swing.

Those results have undone all of the good work Auger-Aliassime did at the start of the year, where he picked up ATP titles in Adelaide and Montpellier.

Altmaier arrives at this contest with a negative 9-12 record at tour-level so far this season, but some strong Challenger results have seen him remain at No. 66 in the world.

The German has won 10 of his 16 matches on clay at all levels so far this season and is coming off a semi-final finish at the strong Turin Challenger last week, where he defeated Flavio Cobolli before going down to eventual champion Alexander Bublik.

Altmaier qualified and made the R16 of the Monte Carlo Masters, going down to Carlos Alcaraz, while he also qualified in Madrid before falling to Alexander Zverev, so it's taking top players to defeat him in these big tournaments.

The 26-year-old made his first ATP 500 quarter-final in Hamburg two years ago, but he's also suffered five first round exits at this tournament.
