Dalibor Svrcina vs Flavio Cobolli prediction
Dalibor Svrcina advanced to the next round of the Mexican Open after a comprehensive win over James Duckworth. Svrcina opened up a 3-1 lead in the first set but was pegged back as Duckworth reeled off four games in a row to edge in front. Nevertheless, he broke again and consolidated to take the set. The second set was more straight-forward, with Svrcina winning five of the six service games to seal a 6-4 6-1 victory after one hour and 32 minutes. That was his first tour-level win of the season.
He will now play Flavio Cobolli. The Italian was made to work for his win against Mexican wildcard Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez. Cobolli went a break down in both sets but recovered and showed his best level in each tiebreak to win 7-6 (3) 7-6 (3).
Cobolli has still not looked entirely convincing at the start of this campaign, but he should still have enough quality to defeat Svrcina and reach his second quarter-final in succession.
