Aguilar Cardozo vs Varillas Prediction 25 September 2026

Joaquin Aguilar Cardozo arrives at the quarter-final in excellent form, having won his last 10 matches without a single defeat. Over that run he has won 91% of sets and held 66% of games. In his three matches at this tournament he has not been troubled by any of his opponents, winning each comfortably. His serve has been consistent: he is landing 70% of first serves and double faults are rare, averaging around two per match. He wins more than half of service points, which helps him maintain control of matches. A run of eight consecutive wins without dropping a set underlines his dominance over this stretch.

Juan Pablo Varillas has more inconsistent numbers - seven wins and three losses in his last ten matches. Over that same stretch he won only 61% of sets, and his games-won percentage is noticeably lower at 54%. That said, he came through his three previous matches at this tournament without much difficulty. He averages more aces (4 per match), though his first-serve percentage is lower than his opponent's at 64%. He holds serve at an acceptable level, but two bagel defeats in his last ten matches point to occasional collapses during a match. His recent winning run is also less pronounced.
