Thiago Agustin Tirante vs Facundo Diaz Acosta prediction

Thiago Agustin Tirante is the eighth seed at the Almaty Open. He last competed in Shanghai, winning his opening match against Hamad Medjedovic and then taking the first set against Rafael Jodar. However, the Spaniard would go on to win in three. This has been a breakthrough season for Tirante, who reached a career high of 42 in the rankings two months ago. His highlights have included a run to the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Open, beating 24-time slam champion Novak Djokovic along the way, and a semi-final appearance in Houston.

He takes on compatriot Facundo Diaz Acosta in round one. The 25-year-old has enjoyed incredible success on the Challenger Tour, with six titles in total this year. However, all of those wins have exclusively arrived on clay, and he has just the one victory from six matches on hard court. Furthermore, he is on a three-match losing streak.

This is their first ATP meeting, though Tirante does lead the head-to-head 3-1. He has a far superior record on this surface in comparison to his opponent.
