Thiago Monteiro vs Chun-Hsin Tseng Prediction

Thiago Monteiro is the last remaining Brazilian player in the Rio Open and the veteran will be looking to fly the flag for his country and make it through to the quarterfinals.

He cam through a tough first-round match against Facundo Diaz Acosta when he lost the first set but rallied well to win the second and third, including a deciding tiebreak.

He now meets Chun-Hsin Tseng who is seven years his junior at 23 and is 26 world ranking places behind him at 126.

He picked up a great win in the first round as he stunned third-seed Alejandro Tabilo 6-2 7-5. That came after he won two matches in qualifying over the weekend so he has some good momentum right now.

We sense Monteiro’s experience will be key in this match and will just about make the difference. With the home crowd firmly behind him, we expect him to get the win and reach the quarters.
