We'll definitely have an unseeded player in the quarter-finals of the hard court Belgrade Open. That's because Christopher O'Connell faces Daniel Altmaier in round two. Here's our match prediction.

Christopher O'Connell is up to 69th in the live rankings after beating Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round. It was a highly impressive performance as he won that match 6-1 6-1. It's a return to form for the Australian who had only won one of his last seven matches, including two defeats in last week's Paris Masters. He did take a set off Karen Khachanov who is in top form at present.

Daniel Altmaier beat the eighth seed Luciano Darderi in the first round of this tournament. He won that match in straight sets with the first being decided by a tie-break. The German has played a tie-break in his last four matches so a side bet on one here is advisable.

That win sees Altmaier go to 85th in the live rankings, a rise of eight places. His win  was only the second he's had in the main draw of an ATP Tour event since the Wimbledon Championships. He's been playing a lot on the Challenger Tour in recent months with one final reached but that was on clay.

We go for O'Connell to win this match..
