Second seed Federico Coria and eighth seed Andrea Vavassori will on Friday square off at the AON Open Challenger.

Andrea Vavassori is playing in Genoa for the second time in his career and has set a personal record by advancing this far. He has looked in great shape and has won his two rounds without dropping a set. The Italian defeated compatriot Franco Agamenone by the loss of just three games in the last round. It was his 27th win of the year and the 25th overall on clay. Vavassori has played the majority of his matches this season on clay where he has compiled a 25-12 record.

Federico Coria has also blitzed past his opponents in what is his debut in Genoa. He is yet to drop a set and in the last round defeated the qualifier Hady Habib by the loss of seven games. Just like Vavassori, Coria has also spent the majority of his season playing on clay. He has compiled a 21-13 record on the surface. Despite managing his 24th overall victory of the season, the Argentine is down five places in the live ranking to 96th. This is after he lost 14 ranking points.
