A place in the quarter finals of the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam is the prize in this second round match. Sixth seed Grigor Dimitrov takes on unseeded Marton Fucsovics  in this indoor hard court tournament. The winner faces either third seed Holger Rune or unseeded Alexander Shevchenko. Dimitrov is enjoying a successful year so far with one title being won in Brisbane last month. Last weekend saw him in another final but he was beaten by Ugo Humbert (already out of this ATP 500 event). Dimitrov is now 13th in the live rankings but seventh in the ATP Live Race. The first round saw him get a straight sets win over unseeded Lorenzo Sonego. He's 2-2 in previous meetings with Fucsovics and got a four-set win over him in last month's Australian Open.

Fucsovics won his first two matches against Dimitrov but is attempting to avoid a third straight loss to him here. The Hungarian met compatriot Fabian Marozsan in the first round of this tournament and beat him in straight sets. The first set was won on a tie-break but Fucsovics only lost one game in the next to progress. He's now up to 78th in the live rankings but only 166th in the ATP Live Race. That's a lot better than it was as he was only 479th in the race after a poor start to the new year with no wins in two ATP Tour tournaments. We tip Dimitrov to get the victory.
