In the second round, he outclassed Oleksandr Ovcharenko in straight sets to reach his first quarterfinal in almost three months.

Federico Coria vs Damir Dzumhur Prediction

Although Coria prevailed in three hours in his quarterfinal match, he received a walkover before that and a retirement from his opener. So, fatigue is unlikely to hamper him here. Dzumhur is coming off a spectacular win over Ramos Vinolas, where he only lost ONE game, and he's had a far more successful season on the Challenger Tour this year, winning four titles on clay. There is a reason why he's been virtually unstoppable on the surface at this tier. If the Bosnian is in the mood, he'll grind down Coria.
