Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the first round of the 2024 Lotto Arena tournament in Antwerp, Belgium, Gilles-Arnaud Bailly from Belgium will be facing Daniel Altmaier from Germany. This will be their first meeting on the ATP Tour.

Gilles-Arnaud Bailly is a 19-year-old player currently ranked World No. 869. He reached his career-high ranking of No. 468 in November 2023. Bailly made his ATP Tour debut as a wildcard entry at the 2022 Antwerp tournament, where he lost in the first round to Belgian No. 1 player David Goffin in three sets. He has a record of 40-31 on the ITF Tour, with titles at the 2023 M15 Antalya and 2023 M25 Santa Margherita di Pula events. Bailly is also a college tennis player for the University of Texas, playing alongside his older brother Pierre-Yves. In his junior career, he defeated the World No. 1 junior Kuzuhara to reach his first junior Grand Slam final at the 2022 Roland Garros, where he lost to Debru. He also reached the 2022 US Open junior final, losing to Landaluce after winning four consecutive three-set matches. Bailly won the 2022 European Junior Tennis Championships Klosters without dropping a set, defeating Prizmic in the final. However, it is important to note that Bailly has played only one ATP Tour match in his career, which was against Goffin in the 2022 Antwerp first round as a wildcard, and he is currently 0-5 against top 100 opponents across all levels. His biggest win so far was against No. 123 Herbert in the qualification rounds of this week’s tournament.

The match will take place at the Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium, from 14th to 20th October 2024. If Bailly wins the match, he will become the third-youngest match winner in the history of the tournament at 19 years and 27 days. The youngest winners in tournament history are Jannik Sinner (18 years and 1 month) in 2019, Taylor Fritz (18 years and 11 months) in 2016, and Stefanos Tsitsipas (19 years and 2 months) in 2017.

On the other hand, Daniel Altmaier is a 26-year-old player currently ranked World No. 84. He reached his career-high ranking of No. 47 in October 2023, a day before his 25th birthday. In 2023, Altmaier reached his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal at Madrid as a lucky loser and secured his biggest win by defeating No. 7 Andrey Rublev. He also reached the quarterfinals of the 2023 Hamburg tournament. Altmaier ended the 2022 season with an impressive record of 13 wins in his last 14 Challenger matches, including consecutive titles at Lima-2 and Guayaquil. In July 2021, he achieved a career milestone by advancing to the semifinals of an ATP Tour event for the first time at both Umag and Kitzbuhel. He made his Grand Slam qualifying debut at the 2020 Roland Garros and had a notable run, defeating No. 8 Matteo Berrettini to reach the fourth round. Altmaier also defeated No. 9 Jannik Sinner en route to the third round of the 2023 Roland Garros. Altmaier utilizes a one-handed backhand and has mentioned that his idols growing up were fellow one-handers Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka. It is worth mentioning that Altmaier is currently seeking his first hard-court win since March when he defeated Mayot at the ATP Masters 1000 Miami. Out of his 11 hard-court tour-level wins, two of them were achieved indoors last year, against Z. Svajda in Dallas and Arthur Fils at the ATP Masters 1000 Paris.

In summary, Gilles-Arnaud Bailly and Daniel Altmaier will face each other for the first time in the first round of the 2024 Lotto Arena tournament in Antwerp. Bailly, a 19-year-old Belgian player, has had a successful junior career and made his ATP Tour debut in 2022.
