In the 1/16 challenger finals in Vancouver, Spaniard Fernando Verdasco will play against Juan Pablo Fikovic from Argentina.
Juan Pablo Ficovich
The 25-year-old representative of Argentina last week unsuccessfully played a dirt challenger in Peru. In the 1/16 finals, Fikovic lost in two sets very unexpectedly to the Peruvian Gonzalo Bueno, who just got into the sixth hundred of the ATP ranking. The meeting ended as follows – 5:7; 3:6.
Fernando Verdasco
The 38-year-old representative of Spain, in turn, rested last week. But in the first days of August, Verdasco looked at the ATP tournament in Mexico. In Los Cabos, Fernando played unsuccessfully and already in the 1/16 finals lost to Thanasi Kokkinakis from Australia – 3:6; 7:6 (7:5); 2:6. This game was on the night of the second to the third of August.
Fernando Verdasco and Juan Pablo Fikovic played against each other on January 27 at the dirt challenger in Bolivia. Then the Spaniard was stronger in three sets – 6:3; 6:7 (4:7); 7:6 (7:3).
Forecast
In this match, Fernando Verdasco is considered by bookmakers to be an almost unconditional favorite. It may not be the easiest match for the Spaniard here, but on hard Verdasco is quite capable of beating the unstable Fikovic in two sets, this is the outcome we suggest you bet on.
