Fourth seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry and fifth seed Jan-Lennard Struff will meet in the quarter-finals of the Swiss Open. The winner of this second career match between the two will play Lukas Klein, Quentin Halys, Gustavo Heide or Ugo Humbert next. Here’s an analysis of the stats ahead of this match and a prediction of the likely outcome.

Jan-Lennard Struff has won both his matches in Gstaad without dropping a set. This sheds light on how impressive he has been on clay this year. The German, who defeated Leandro Riedi in the second round, has compiled a 13-4 record on clay. His form on the surface yielded his first-ever tour title. Struff won the Bavarian Championships without dropping a set, defeating the likes of Holger Rune and Taylor Fritz. Now with a 25-14 record, Struff has moved up to 36th in the live ranking after progressing to his third tour quarter-final.

Tomas Martin Etcheverry defeated Struff on clay last year at the Bordeaux Challenger semi-finals. That was their first career meeting and the Argentine won in straight sets. He will hope for a similar outcome in this encounter as he seeks to end his recent struggles.

Etcheverry had another poor grass season and managed just one win in four matches.

Returning to his favoured clay surface saw him get back to winning ways. The 25-year-old defeated Botic van de Zandschulp in three sets in the second round. His 18th win on clay improved his record to 21-18. Despite earning five ranking points by advancing to the last eight, Etcheverry has dropped two places to 34th in the live ranking.
