Joao Fonseca vs Mariano Navone Prediction

18-year-old Brazilian Joao Fonseca showed great mentality in his round of 16 clash with Federico Coria to fight back from a set down to win in three sets. Playing against an experienced campaigner and the home crowd who was incredible in their support of Coria, Fonseca looked to force it a little too much in the first set. Once he settled down, he took control of the match and outplayed Coria to progress to the quarters.

He now meets another Argentine in Mariano Navone who is coming off an outstanding 6-1 7-6 win over second-seed Holger Rune. He was better than the Dane in all areas and thoroughly deserved his win so he will be confident in front of the Argentine fans.

They met in Rio last year and it was Navone who won on Fonseca’s turf so it will be interesting to see if Fonseca can avenge that on Navone’s patch. 

Fonseca is the favourite with the bookmakers but we can see this being something of a see-saw match. The young Brazilian will need to settle much quicker than he did in the last match as Navone will test him even more so than Coria. We marginally edge Fonseca but without any real confidence and our preferred play is on overs in the game betting.
