Alexander Blockx is the higher-ranked and stronger player of the two, so he fully deserves to start this final as the favorite. He has also produced the better level throughout the week, giving him the edge in the title decider.

Blockx Looks To Finish The Job
- Van Assche has won 10 of his last 11 matches on clay.
- He has a 5–8 career record against Top 50 players on clay.
- Blockx has won seven of his last 11 matches against French players.
- He is looking to win his maiden tour-level title this week.

Van Assche One Win Away from Career-Best Triumph
Luca Van Assche has enjoyed a dream week in Estoril, defeating world No. 14 Andrey Rublev for his maiden top-20 victory before beating Hugo Gaston in straight sets to reach his first ATP Tour final.
He has won 10 of his last 11 clay-court matches and arrives full of confidence after lifting the Parma Challenger title earlier this month.
The Frenchman made a strong start to the season by winning Challenger titles in Quimper and Lille, but his form dipped during the middle of the year. This run marks a return to his best level, and victory on Sunday would earn him a maiden ATP Tour title and a top-50 debut.
One statistic in Van Assche's favor is that he already defeated Blockx in the Lille Challenger final earlier this season, winning comfortably in straight sets.

Blockx's Fighting Spirit Powers Historic Run
Alexander Blockx has produced three consecutive three set victories this week, defeating Kyrian Jacquet, Roman Andres Burruchaga and Luciano Darderi to reach his maiden ATP Tour final.
The Belgian had played only two matches since suffering an ankle injury at the French Open and lost both, but this week has erased any doubts over his fitness.
Earlier this season, he reached the Madrid Masters semifinals and the third round at both Monte Carlo and the French Open, results that lifted him to a career-high ranking inside the top 40.
This will be Blockx's first ATP Tour final, and another deep run continues his breakthrough campaign after already recording his maiden top-10 victory and several impressive wins on clay earlier this year.

Verdict
Fatigue could become a major factor, particularly for whoever loses the opening set, with a comeback potentially difficult to mount. Backing Alexander Blockx to win, the match to finish in straight sets, and under 22.5 games are the preferred options.
