Two unseeded players face each other in the last four of the Rio Open. Alejandro Tabilo is up against Ignacio Buse for a place in the final of this outdoor clay court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
The winner will take on either eighth seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry or unseeded Vit Kopriva in Sunday's final.
Alejandro Tabilo is the more experienced of these two semi-finalists. The 28-year-old has previously reached two ATP Tour finals on this surface (losing both), his last being in Chile two years ago. He's been as high as 19th in the rankings.
Tabilo is up to 52nd after beating Emilio Nava, Francesco Passaro and Thiago Agustin Tirante this week, needing three sets in the last two. He leads Buse 2-0 in previous meetings but this is their first match on clay.
Ignacio Buse has made it to the semi-finals on his debut in Rio. The first two rounds saw him play Igor Marcondes and third-seeded Joao Fonseca. Both matches were won after the 21-year-old lost the opening set.
In his quarter-final, Buse again needed three sets to beat Matteo Berrettini, though this time he won the opening set. Buse is a career-high 66th iin the live rankings. We tip Tabilo to reach the final.
