Felix Auger-Aliassime Aims for Redemption in Munich Clash Against Navone
Alright, so let’s talk about the upcoming showdown at the ATP Bavarian International Tennis Championships — Felix Auger-Aliassime is set to take on Mariano Navone in the round of 32, and there’s a lot of buzz surrounding this match, especially given where both players are in their form right now.
Felix, who had a promising start to the year with strong showings back in February — two finals and a semi-final, no less — has been searching for that rhythm again. Things haven’t quite gone his way lately, with a disappointing early exit in Monte-Carlo where he lost in straight sets to Daniel Altmaier, a German qualifier. Not exactly the comeback he was hoping for. But if there’s one thing we know about Auger-Aliassime, it’s that he has the resilience to bounce back when it matters most. And that opportunity is knocking right now in Munich.

Now, looking at Mariano Navone — he’s been battling for momentum this season, especially on clay. His best result in the South American clay swing was a quarter-final in Argentina, and since then, it’s been a bit of a struggle. Most recently, he managed to qualify for Monte-Carlo but then got sent home by Matteo Berrettini in straight sets in the very first round. So, while he’s got grit, Navone hasn't exactly been consistent this year.
The odds? Well, they currently lean in favor of Auger-Aliassime. He's sitting at $1.61 to win outright compared to Navone's $2.30, according to the Australian bookies. First set odds also reflect that, with Felix favored at $1.66. The predictive analytics model over at Stats Insider even gives him a solid 64% chance of winning the match — that’s after simulating it 10,000 times. Yeah, 10,000! So, this isn’t just gut feeling — this is data talking.
And if you're into betting, one of the hot picks from the insiders is Felix to win the first set at $1.83 — a value bet based on a 51% probability according to their model. So that’s worth keeping an eye on.
Honestly, this match could be a perfect platform for Auger-Aliassime to get back on track, especially if he plays to his strengths and capitalizes on Navone’s recent inconsistencies. That said, it’s still clay court tennis, and as we know — anything can happen out there.
Match kicks off Wednesday, April 16 at 12:15am AEST, and you can catch it on Sky Sports in the UK or Tennis Channel in the US. Let’s see if Felix can shake off the Monte-Carlo blues and put together a strong campaign here in Munich. Game on!
