Neither player has conceded a set here so far, with the streak dating back to the qualifying rounds for Alves. He also hasn't dropped his serve in the last two rounds. He has an even 20-20 record this season across all levels, while Barrios Vera has posted a 39-25 record this year.

Barrios Vera has won one Challenger title from two finals this year. Alves, on the otehr hand, has one ITF title to his name. Their only prior encounter took place a year ago on the latter's home turf in Brazil, which went to three sets.

Alves gave a good account of himself back then, only to come up short in the deciding set tie-break. Since both are partial to clay, this could be another close encounter. Nevertheless, Barrios Vera will still be favored to come out on top based on their results this year.

Pick: Tomas Barrios Vera to win in three sets.
