Barrientos N./Hidalgo D. - Mena F./Roncadelli F. Predictions and Betting Tips

🎾 Guayaquil Challenger – QF Hidalgo / Barrientos vs Mena / Roncadelli Pick: Hidalgo/Barrientos ML (parlay builder) or Hidalgo/Barrientos -1.5 Sets (@2.40) Hidalgo and Barrientos are simply operating at a different level. Both are top-100 doubles players with regular ATP Tour participation, and when they pair up, the results speak for themselves: a 6–3 record, a Challenger final together, and wins over elite doubles specialists—Glasspool (#1), Bhambri (#21), Willis (#83), Bollipalli (#84), and even a standout victory this year against Krajicek (#51) / González (#41). On the other side, Mena and Roncadelli are playing only their second match together. Their first attempt ended in a straight-set loss to Alves/Soto earlier this season. Mena comes into this match right after a long, physical three-set battle in singles lasting over two hours, and doubles has never been his priority. Meanwhile, Roncadelli retired from his first-round singles match due to physical issues. Against an ATP-level doubles team, fatigue and fitness concerns can’t be hidden. This looks like a clear matchup edge for Hidalgo/Barrientos, who should dominate from start to finish. Projected Result: 2–0 Hidalgo/Barrientos
