Adrian Mannarino defeated Pedro Martinez 7–6, 6–1 in the first round of the ATP 250 Montpellier tournament on hard court on 2 February 2026. As the pre-match favourite with odds of 1.61, Mannarino delivered an expected victory, though Martinez offered modest resistance in the opening set before capitulating in the second. The Frenchman's composed performance, particularly his clinical finish after securing the tiebreak, suggests solid early-tournament form heading into the round of 16.
