Marcelo Tomas Barrios Vera vs Juan Bautista Torres prediction
Vera is one win away from entering his fourth final this year. The Chilean has yet to drop a set in Cali and will fancy his chances in the next round. He has a solid all-around game and has only lost his serve once in the last few rounds.
Torres, on the contrary, has been resilient in the Cali Challenger. The Argentine has raised his level in the last few months and will be desperate to enter his first final in 2025. He has a decent all-around game, but needs to be positive on the court and back himself against Vera.
Both players have been flawless in Cali so far, but Vera will have a slight edge in this round. The Chilean has picked up some big wins this year and should be able to overpower his opposite number in the last four.
Pick: Vera to win in three sets.
