Alcaraz and Martinez are on the Day 5 Schedule at Abn Amro Open 2025 on Friday 7 February 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Carlos Alcaraz and Pedro Martinez are set to face each other in their first-ever Tour-Level meeting. However, they have had previous encounters in other tournaments. Alcaraz emerged victorious in all three previous matches against Martinez, which took place in the Clay courts of Spain.
Alcaraz, at the age of 21, is currently ranked World No. 3 and achieved a career-high ranking of No. 1. In 2025, he has had a successful record of 6-1, including two quarterfinal appearances in the Rotterdam tournament. Notably, Alcaraz holds the impressive title of being the youngest and the first teenage World No. 1 and year-end No. 1 in PIF ATP Rankings history. This remarkable rise in rankings saw him go from No. 32 in 2021 to No. 1 at the young age of 19 in September 2022. In total, he held the No. 1 ranking for 36 weeks.
One of Alcaraz’s significant achievements was defeating Ruud in the 2022 US Open final, granting him the No. 1 ranking and making him the youngest men’s champion at the US Open since Sampras in 1990. Furthermore, this victory marked him as the youngest champion at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at the 2005 Roland Garros.
Alcaraz’s success also extends to the Grand Slam tournaments. He secured the 2024 Roland Garros title by winning against Sinner in the semifinals and Zverev in the final, earning him the title of the youngest man to win a Grand Slam on all three surfaces. Moreover, he achieved a significant victory by defeating 7-time champion Djokovic in the finals of the 2023-24 Wimbledon, making him the second man in the Open Era to win his first four Grand Slam finals. Additionally, his performance earned him the title of the youngest Olympic men’s finalist since 1904, and he won the silver medal at the Paris Olympics.
Alcaraz’s success is not limited to Grand Slam events. He became the youngest ATP 500 champion at the 2022 Rio de Janeiro tournament, and at the age of 19, he became the third-youngest ATP Masters 1000 champion at the 2022 Miami tournament. In another remarkable feat, he defeated both Nadal and Djokovic consecutively at the 2022 Madrid clay-court event, making him the youngest player to achieve this and the first to do so at the same clay-court tournament. This victory granted him his second ATP Masters 1000 title.
In the upcoming match, Alcaraz aims to reach his 33rd tour-level semifinal and his fourth indoors. His last tour-level semifinal victory was during the Beijing tournament, where he secured the title in October. Notably, Alcaraz has an exceptional record against his countrymen, holding a 15-1 record since the 2021 Roland Garros. His only loss against a fellow Spaniard was to the No. 4 player, Nadal, in the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells semifinals.

Moving on to Pedro Martinez, he is 23 years old and is currently ranked World No. 44, with his career-high ranking being No. 39 in October 2024. Martinez gained recognition after winning his first ATP Tour title at the 2022 Santiago tournament in February, which propelled him into the Top 50. He continued his rise by reaching the Top 40 in May 2022.
Martinez has had notable victories throughout his career. He defeated Bautista Agut, who was ranked No. 16 at the time, in the 2021 Kitzbuhel tournament, which marked his first win against a Top 20 player. He then went on to reach his first semifinal and final, as well as defeating Ruud in the 2024 Estoril tournament, which is considered his biggest win to date.
In 2020, Martinez showcased his potential by qualifying for six tour-level events, including the Australian Open, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, and Roland Garros. He achieved his first tour-level win at the Australian Open, defeating Koepfer, and secured his first ATP Masters 1000 win at Rome, defeating Querrey. Additionally, he reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career at Roland Garros.
Martinez has had success in Challenger tournaments, particularly on his home clay in Spain. He has reached eight of his 13 career Challenger finals on Spanish clay, winning titles in Marbella, Seville, Maspalomas, Girona, and Valencia.
In the upcoming match against Alcaraz, Martinez aims to secure the biggest win of his career. He has a challenging record against Top 10 players, with a 1-10 record overall (0-6 against Top 5). However, he has previously reached five ATP Tour semifinals, three of which were off clay, and aims to add to this achievement with his first semifinal appearance above the ATP 250 level. Currently ranked No. 40 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings, a victory in the quarterfinals could potentially see him jump to No. 34.
