Fourth seed Pedro Martinez and the unseeded Facundo Diaz Acosta will meet in the Kitzbuhel quarter-finals on Thursday. This will be their second matchup of the year with the winner playing Sebastian Baez, Hugo Gaston or Roberto Carballes Baena next. In this article, we take a look at the stats and offer a prediction.
Overall, this will be the third meeting between these two. Martinez has never lost to Diaz Acosta and thus will be confident of progressing to the semi-finals. He won their most recent showdown earlier this year in three sets in Santiago.
The Spaniard, who finished as runner-up here on his debut three seasons ago, defeated Sumit Nagal in the second round. His win in straight sets secured the fourth win in his last five fixtures. Martinez has now moved up to 41st in the live ranking after improving his record to 28-18.
Facundo Diaz Acosta has won twice in Kitzbuhel but he looked shaky while doing so. He required deciders to win both his matches and in the first round had to come from behind to win. To advance to this round, the Argentine defeated Daniel Elahi Galan.
That was win number 17 of a topsy-turvy season that has seen him suffer defeat 14 times. Despite his struggles and a poor record against Martinez, Diaz Acosta will be buoyed by his clay prowess. The 23-year-old is a strong player on this surface having won over 180 matches on clay.
This year, he has claimed 15 of his 17 victories on clay courts. Advancing to this round has bumped him up 12 places to 65th in the live ranking.
