Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Vit Kopriva Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Top seed Felix Auger-Aliassime is down on form as he prepares to launch his Hamburg Open campaign against Vit Kopriva on Tuesday.

Auger-Aliassime comes into this clash having lost three of his last four matches and certainly not playing anywhere near the level you'd come to expect from a World No. 5. The Canadian has experienced these wild form fluctuations throughout his career and there's no doubt he's on a downward trajectory right now.

Meanwhile, Kopriva is enjoying the best period of his career at the moment, sitting close to his career-high ranking of No. 55 and notching up several impressive results so far this clay swing.

Kopriva only has one top 10 scalp to his name, but this shapes as an excellent opportunity to grab another. The Czech has a perfect 8-0 record in completed tour-level opening round matches this season and Auger-Aliassime traditionally starts tournaments slowly - and he's down on confidence.

I'm taking Over 21.5 games as the best bet, with Kopriva covering his +3.5 games line. Smaller state for the Czech to land the upset.
  • Auger-Aliassime has lost three of his last four matches
  • Kopriva has won six of his last nine matches
  • Auger-Aliassime has seen Over 21.5 games in eight of his last 10 completed matches
  • Auger-Aliassime has seen Over 21.5 games in eight of his last nine completed opening matches
  • Kopriva has a flawless 8-0 record in tour-level first round matches in 2026

Auger-Aliassime vs Kopriva Head To Head

This will be the first career meeting between the pair.

Felix Auger-Aliassime Form Analysis

  • 2026 Record: 18-9
  • ATP Hamburg Record: 4-2
  • Current Ranking: No. 5
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 5 (November 2025)

Auger-Aliassime hit his career-high ranking at the end of last year following an extremely strong run of results.

However, the Canadian has failed to reach that level throughout the bulk of 2026 - save for a couple of indoor events, which he traditionally excels at.

The 25-year-old has failed to win more than two matches in a row since February and he's gone an average 3-3 across the European clay swing.

Auger-Aliassime has suffered defeats to underdogs in his last two tournaments, going down to Alexander Blockx in Madrid before falling in two tiebreaks to Mariano Navone in Rome.

The Canadian made the semi-finals of Hamburg last year, suffering a loss to Andrey Rublev.

Vit Kopriva Form Analysis

  • 2026 Record: 14-9
  • ATP Hamburg Record: 0-0
  • Current Ranking: No. 63
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 55 (April 2026)

After years of grinding away on the Challenger Tour, Kopriva has cemented himself well inside the top 100 and he's registered a very solid 14-9 record on the main tour so far in 2026.

One of the more underrated stats of the year is Kopriva doing 8-0 in completed Round 1 matches at tour-level, which has laid the foundation for his rankings rise.

The 28-year-old enjoyed a prolific Golden Swing on clay, reaching the quarter-finals in Buenos Aires and semis in Rio.

Kopriva has continued to operate at a high level on European clay, making the quarter-finals in Munich before a nice run to the R16 in Madrid, beating ninth seed Rublev along the way.

The Czech will be making his Hamburg debut this tournament and will be hoping to extend his perfect record in opening rounds - and land his first top 10 win since 2021 in the process.
