Alejandro Tabilo vs Christopher O'Connell prediction
After a tough season so far, Tabilo has a great chance to win a trophy on tour. He's only dropped one set in Chengdu this week and outclassed the second seed Darderi on Friday. The Chilean is one of the sweetest timers of the ball and relies on his potent forehand on the court.
O'Connell, meanwhile, deserves a place in the quarterfinal for his constant effort in the last few months. The Australian began his preparations early for the Asian hard-court swing by competing in Guangzhou Huangpu (Challenger). He will need to rise to the occasion against an in-form opponent on Saturday.
The duo recently met in the semifinal of the Guangzhou Huangpu Challenger, but O'Connell threw in the towel 15 minutes into the bout. The Chilean seems to have momentum on his side and is most likely to continue his splendid run in the Chengdu Open.
Pick: Tabilo to win in three sets.
