Joao Fonseca v Federico Coria Preview
Head-to-Head: World number 99 Fonseca and the 115th-ranked Coria have never faced off in a competitive match before this.
Joao Fonseca has already shown what he is capable of outside of clay when he defeated Andrey Rublev at the Australian Open earlier this year. Preceding that win, he had come through the qualifiers to make the main draw there having also won a Challenger title in Canberra.
And while he started off a 4/5 favourite against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the first clay court match of the season for him in the first round here, one would have thought things could get really difficult for the 18-year-old.
Instead, he came through in two easy sets, winning 6-3, 6-3 to reach the second round here on his Argentina Open debut. He now takes on another Argentine in the form Federico Coria, who overcame Hugo Gaston in the first round.
Like Fonseca, Coria also romped to an easy win, sending Gaston out 6-3, 6-2 in round one. This was after Coria had failed to qualify for the main draw and only made it through as a lucky loser.
Fonseca is a 1/6 favourite here and while we think he has a good chance of winning this, Coria’s experience will count for something.
Fonseca v Coria prediction: Over 18.5 games in the match: 4/7

Diego Schwartzman v Pedro Martinez Preview
Head-to-Head: Their only previous meeting came in Rio in 2022 and Schwartzman had won that 6-1, 6-1.
Diego Schwartzman is in his swansong tournament and for a few moments in his first round encounter with Nicolas Jarry it looked like it was going to be his final match.
And having gone into the match as a 3/1 underdog, it should have been that too.
But egged on by the home crowd and with the dint of that gritty spirit he brought to the match, Schwartzman came away a 7-6 (10), 4-6, 6-3 winner over Martinez, in a match lasting nearly three hours.
In doing so, Schwartzman saved three set-points in the opening set and then broke Jarry once in the final set to clinch a shock win.
Can he now make it two in two and extend his stay in the tournament even further when he takes on Pedro Martinez, who came back from a first set bagel to defeat Damir Dzumhur.
Much like the Schwartzman encounter, this match also went on for nearly three hours with Martinez coming back from 2-4 down in the final set to win it in a tie-breaker.
Things could get a lot tougher for Schwartzman as he hopes his body finds a way to cope with the rigours of his opening encounter.
Schwartzman v Martinez prediction: Under 20.5 games in the match: 11/10
