On Tuesday, the in-form Alejandro Tabilo, who reached the final of the Rio Open last week, will get down to business in his native Chile, where he'll be up against compatriot Tomas Barrios Vera. The early betting market tells us that Tabilo, who is easily the higher-ranked player, is a strong favorite, though I'd say that he could be even stronger given his recent form, plus the fact that he's previously reached the final of this tournament, doing so back in 2024.
In contrast, Barrios Vera comes into this match off the back of consecutive straight defeats, while he's now lost three of his last four, while he was soundly beaten (in straight sets) when the pair met at this venue back in 2024. On all available evidence, this looks like a tough assignment for the lower-ranked player, who doesn't look well positioned to make the second round.

Our Alejandro Tabilo vs Marcelo Tomas Barrios Vera Prediction
Let's be real, this is a huge opportunity for Alejandro Tabilo to build momentum ahead of what should be another decent week for the clay-court specialist. He arrives in decent form having reached the final of the Rio Open last week, while he's no stranger to performing well in his native Chile either. He reached the final of this event in 2024, beating Tomas Barrios Vera in straight sets in the process.
I'd argue that the world number 42 is now an even stronger player and as he arrives in such hot form, he's absolutely worth betting on to get the job done, even at odds of -175, which absolutely represent value in my mind. I'd have the Chilean at -250 to win this.
