Tomas Martin Etcheverry vs Rinky Hijikata prediction
Tomas Martin Etcheverry defeated Damir Dzumhur in round one of the Hangzhou Open. He made a fast start as he won the first five games of the match to get in front. Etcheverry then broke Dzumhur as he was serving to stay in the match to win 6-2 6-4 after an hour and 15 minutes. It was a fine serving performance from Etcheverry, with a first serve percentage of 76% and eight aces overall.
His opponent in the next round is Rinky Hijikata. The Australian defeated Camilo Ugo Carabelli in straight sets to advance. A topsy turvy first set saw six breaks of serve overall, with Hijikata crucially breaking the Argentine as he was serving for the set before dominating the tiebreak. He then broke right at the start of the second and that proved to be enough, with Hijikata winning 7-6 6-4.
Both players are evenly matched on this surface and are coming into this on the back of fine showings in their previous match. A three set encounter holds strong value.
