Alejandro Tabilo vs Emilio Nava prediction
Alejandro Tabilo showed some encouraging signs at the Argentina Open as he got through to the quarter-finals. This included an impressive victory over third seed and defending champion Joao Fonseca. The Chilean made a brilliant start in his last eight encounter with Tomas Martin Etcheverry, but eventually lost in three sets. Tabilo also reached the final in Concepcion on the Challenger Tour last month.
By contrast, Emilio Nava struggled in Buenos Aires as he crashed out in round one. Nava was never in the contest as he won just three games against Mariano Navone, with the home favourite cruising to a 6-2 6-1 win. He is yet to get past the first-round of a main draw tournament this season.
Tabilo will look to be aggressive in the opening games of this match, and if his forehand is firing early on, he can apply a lot of pressure on Nava, especially in the American’s service games.
