Francisco Cerundolo Player Overview
Cerundolo didn't falter in any tournament in February, leading to a well-deserved return to the top-30 of the world rankings. Francisco always displays superb tennis on his home continent. However, the title drought has continued since last summer. Last week, the Argentine did not disappoint in Rio (quarterfinals), and before that, he came very close to triumph in Buenos Aires (final). In Chile, the athlete defeated Yannick Hanfmann in two and a half hours, converting just over half of his break points (four out of seven).

Tomas Martin Etcheverry Player Overview
Etcheverri did not lose a single set in the championship, focusing mainly on an excellent serve (two breaks, ten aces, and less than half of the points lost on the second attempt). In his short career, Thomas-Martin has not achieved anything significant, which forces him to constantly improve. Last spring, the representative from Argentina almost won a cup in Lyon (final), but then experienced a significant decline. Now, the athlete is once again full of confidence in his abilities, which is bad news for his competitors.

Editorial Prediction
In this match, preference should be given to Etcheverry. Francisco has expended significantly more energy over the last couple of weeks, and we believe he will fall again before the impressive onslaught of a dangerous opponent despite his excellent adaptation to the conditions. A victory for Tomas-Martin is a logical choice for the Argentine derby.
