Francesco Passaro will attempt to become an unlikely Rio Open quarter-finalist. He lost in the qualifying rounds but was reinstated as a lucky loser. After a first round win, he now takes on unseeded Alejandro Tabilo. Time for our match prediction.
Passaro lost his only previous match against Tabilo. That was played on an outdoor hard court last year with Tabilo winning in straight sets. This time around, they are playing on an outdoor clay court.
It was in the final qualifying round that the 25-year-old lost to Vilius Gaubas in straight sets. Withdrawals saw him put into the main draw as a lucky loser. Round one saw him defeat Dino Prizmic 6-3 6-4. He's now 144th in the live rankings.
Alejandro Tabilo is playing in this tournament for the fourth time. This is the first time he's made it past round one. To achieve that feat, the 28-year-old defeated Emilio Nava in straight sets and is up to 64th in the live list.
The Chilean has made a good start to his clay court season. Eight out of ten matches have been won with a run to the final of a Challenger Tour event. Last week saw him reach the quarter-finals in Buenos Aires.
We tip him Tabilo to win set one and the match.
