Cerundolo won the Argentine Open two weeks ago without dropping a set. However, his momentum came to an abrupt halt after injury forced him to withdraw in the second round of the Rio Open. He’s come back strong this week, winning both of his matches so far without breaking a sweat.

Hanfmann advanced to his first semifinal of the season. He became the first German player to reach the semi-finals on South American clay since his compatriot Tommy Haas in 2014. But with his opponent Cerundolo standing in his way, this may be the end of the road for him.

Cerundolo had won four of his previous five matches against Hanfmann. The Argentine’s injury forced him to retire during their match in Hamburg three years ago, giving his opponent his only victory in this match. All five of their meetings were on clay, and all of them went the distance.

Cerundolo needed three sets to beat Hanfmann when they met at the Chile Open last year. However, given his form at the moment, he was finally able to score his first routine win in this competition.

He chooses: Francisco Cerundolo to win in straight sets.
