Federico Coria vs Benoit Paire: Match Prediction

Coria will progress into the semifinals

There is not much to separate the two players ahead of their quarterfinal clash. Paire, although seeded second at the Cordoba Open, is not a huge favorite to win this encounter. Coria is playing his home tournament and has beaten the Frenchman on the same surface just a couple of months back at the French Open. It is expected that the match will be a three set affair, with Coria just edging out the second seed.

Match Prediction: Federico Coria to defeat Benoit Paire in three sets
