THE PREDICTION
This could end up the most entertaining match of the day between an excellent clay-courter in Dusan Lajovic, who has upset two seeds in impressive circumstances, and 19-year-old Arthur Fils, who stunned Alex de Minaur yesterday in his best result of the season. Fils won his maiden ATP title on clay at the Lyon Open almost exactly a year ago but his robust game has seen impress across surfaces as a rising star of French tennis. The teenager will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of around 32nd for his efforts so far and he should prove a tough force to break down after struggling to express himself so far this season.
World number 59 Lajovic is one of the more erratic players on tour but he stunned Andrey Rublev and Novak Djokovic en-route to the Banja Luka title this time last season and he has beaten three tough foes in Diego Schwartzman, Ugo Humbert and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina to totally earn his place in the quarter-finals. The pair share a 1-1 head-to-head, with both matches coming on clay, but Lajovic won their most recent in Buenos Aires back in February. Take the streaky Serb to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: DUSAN LAJOVIC TO EARN A SET
