Schwartzman’s year has been hit-or-miss thus far. He was knocked out of the Australian Open in the second round but has since risen through the levels, reaching the Cordoba Open semi-finals. It wasn’t his best performance, but he upped his game last week when he played in the Argentina Open finals, losing in three sets to top-seed Casper Ruud. He is in great form in this competition. In the round of 16, he defeated Pedro Martinez in two straight sets, 6-1 6-1 to get into the quarter-finals. 

So far, Andujar has had a poor season. He began his campaign at the Sydney International, where he was ousted in the first round of qualification. Then, in the third round of the Australian Open, he was knocked in three sets by Alex de Minaur. He had an even poorer showing at the Argentina Open, losing in straight sets to Federico Delbonis in the second round. The Spaniard, however, has enhanced his performance at the Rio Open. In the round of 16, he defeated eighth-seeded Albert Ramos-Vinolas in three sets, 7-5, 5-7, 6-3, to advance to the quarter-finals.

Given his stature and performance, Diego Schwartzman will be a heavy favorite. Schwartzman has become better with each event this season, and he isn’t going to stop now. Even though they haven’t played in a long time, Schwartzman enjoys a significant edge over Andujar. He’s already looking forward to the semi-finals, all set to take on Andujar in the quarters. 

Prediction: Schwartzman to win in two sets.
