Stefanos Tsitsipas strips pretty fit but it's just possible he may soon start feeling the pace after a long run of victories which took in a fine title triumph in Marseille last Sunday.

As a result of that indoor crown, Tsitsipas could be forgiven for lowering his hopes a shade in the Dubai Championship. The Greek has won through to the last eight nicely, but he could face a tougher test than some expect against Hubert Hurkacz.

Pole Hurkacz has won admirers for a raft of battling displays in recent months, although he has little to show for it. It may be asking a bit much to expect him to upset Tsitsipas, but siding with the outsider with a handicap start of 4.5 games could be prudent.

In Sao Paulo, Brazil Open last-16 combatants Juan Ignacio Londero and Hugo Dellien should serve up an interesting clash.

Cordoba Open champ Londero opened at 4-7 to progress and has been cut. He should triumph, but Bolivian upstart Dellien has won four of their ten previous meetings so those thinking of supporting the Argentinian should be careful.

Dellien, who hammered Spanish qualifier Pedro Martinez 6-1 6-2 in his opener, looks in great touch, so set-betting punters could consider the 3-1 about Londero triumphing in three sets.

Recommendation
H Hurkacz +4.5 games
1pt 8-13 Coral, Ladbrokes
