Eubanks - Martinez

ATP Metz. France.
The Belgian Blockx is arriving after a recently won tournament, just two days ago he played in the final and now he's here. Young, inexperienced and the form of such players after winning tournaments tends to decline. In general, the end of the season and the built-up workload throughout the season make it a challenge to play at such a fast pace again. Meanwhile, Passaro has already warmed up in France, playing and confidently winning 2 matches in the qualifiers. I believe Blockx should not be such a clear favorite today, and I would even rate their chances equally, or maybe even more in favor of Passaro due to a packed schedule at the end of the season, where he has had more time to rest.
