Diestro/Piotto project a higher floor in Valencia: Diestro’s experience in P1 tempo-control and Piotto’s willingness to finish should stabilize long rallies and key points. Alonso/Goñi can flip sets if they win the speed battle early, but they’re more reliant on first-strike momentum and clean transitions. Slight edge to Diestro/Piotto in tight games, especially if conditions play even slightly slower.
