4 Minute ReadMatteo Berrettini vs. Mariano Navone Prediction: Can Berrettini Avoid Upset in ATP Montreal Opener?
Berrettini meets Navone in the opening round of the ATP Montreal tournament on Rogers Court. Berrettini enters as the -202 favorite, while Navone is available at +164 in the first match of Monday’s schedule. The National Bank Open is an ATP Masters 1000 event played on outdoor hard courts.
The Italian owns the larger serve and stronger hard-court résumé, but his recent inactivity creates uncertainty at a short price. Navone remains much more accomplished on clay, yet he arrives with competitive rhythm and enough defensive consistency to extend an opponent returning from nearly a month away.

Matteo Berrettini vs. Mariano Navone Prediction
Berrettini has not competed since his five-set Wimbledon loss to Grigor Dimitrov on July 4. He rallied from two sets down before falling 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, completing an encouraging run that also included a four-tiebreak victory over Stan Wawrinka and a 6-4, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 win against Arthur Fils. His serve and forehand remain dangerous on faster surfaces, but the long break after Wimbledon could produce an uneven opening set or a brief drop in concentration.
Navone reached the Kitzbühel quarterfinals during his most recent tournament. He defeated Alexandre Muller 6-4, 6-0 and Jan-Lennard Struff 6-0, 6-3 before losing 7-5, 6-3 to eventual champion Quentin Halys. The Argentine also won his first ATP title in Bucharest and reached the Geneva final during a strong clay-court season, showing that he can remain competitive deep into physical matches.
Berrettini leads the head-to-head series 2-0, with both victories coming on clay. He won 6-4, 6-4 at Monte Carlo in April 2025 and followed with a 7-5, 6-3 victory at the Cagliari Challenger this April. Those straight-set results support the favorite, but both matches contained competitive opening sets before Berrettini created separation. Montreal’s hard courts should improve his serving advantage, while also giving Navone a cleaner ball to redirect than he often receives on clay.
Navone must transition quickly from European clay, but his recent match volume should help him compete immediately against an opponent making his first appearance in four weeks. His movement and willingness to extend rallies can pressure Berrettini’s backhand and expose any early rust. Berrettini should still generate enough free points to win one set comfortably, but maintaining his highest level throughout the entire match is a more difficult expectation.
Matteo Berrettini vs. Mariano Navone Best Bet
- Best Bet: Over 2.5 Sets (+110) Check out the best odds at DraftKings Sportsbook
The -202 moneyline requires Berrettini to win without providing much usable value, while the straight-sets market depends on an immediate return to full rhythm. Navone has reached deciding sets against elite players throughout the season and can steal a set through consistency if Berrettini’s first-serve percentage drops. Both players possess clear paths to one set, making the plus-money three-set market the stronger angle.
