This victory will certainly give additional confidence to the Argentine. Will Francisco be able to make it to his first final this season? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Francisco Cerundolo
ArgentinaCurrent form
Cherundolo overcame the barrier in the form of Alexander Zverev (3-6, 6-3, 6-2) in the quarterfinals of the competition in Buenos Aires. Francisco scored two aces against the German tennis player, made four break points and lost two games on his serve. Earlier in the tournament, the Argentine beat his brother Juan Manuel and dealt with Luciano Darderi.
Professional qualities
Cherundolo has a good first serve, and his main weapon is the forehand, which he uses to build most of his attacks on the back line. It is also worth noting the excellent endurance of the Argentine. However, problems with the second ball still remain, two years ago the Argentine was among the leaders in the number of double faults — 161 per season.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season, Cherundolo successfully played at the Umag tournament, which was held on clay. It was the 16th trophy in his career for the Argentine. In the world ranking, Francisco is now in 28th place.
Interesting facts for betting
Cherundolo has won 20 of 31 matches against the Spaniards in his career.
Pedro Martinez
SpainCurrent form
Martinez made it to the semifinals of the Buenos Aires tournament without a fight - Lorenzo Musetti did not play due to injury. Earlier, the Spaniard beat Diego Schwarman and Damir Jumhur in the tournament bracket.
Professional qualities
Martinez can be described as a player with a more standard set of characteristics. He is focused on running, which allows him to survive in protracted sweepstakes. However, Pedro does not have the power to win draws in a few strokes. Serving is also not his strong suit, although his endurance and tenacity are particularly appreciated on the ground.

Martinez is currently ranked 41st in the world rankings. During his career, the Spanish tennis player has won 16 titles, one of which is the ATP category. Last season, Pedro scored clay-court challenger wins in Girona and Valencia.
