THE PREDICTION
World number 117 Thiago Monteiro rode his luck on Wednesday when Carlos Alcaraz was forced to retire injured just two games into their match and that could see him enjoy something of a blessed run this week in Rio. This should be a good-natured clash between two compatriots but home support should lean towards Monteiro as Brazil’s main threat on the ATP tour for many years. World number 153 Felipe Meligeni Alves overcame Pedro Cachin in three sets to build on an eye-catching qualifying run over the weekend and that momentum could be the difference here given Monteiro was handed a wildcard with very little recent form to bring. Back Monteiro to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
