Joao Fonseca, who is unseeded at this year’s Argentina Open, will next play lucky loser Federico Coria in the second round. The winner of their first career meeting will play Holger Rune or Mariano Navone in the quarter-finals. Below is our prediction for this match.

Joao Fonseca is having an exciting start to the season. The 18-year-old had a historic run to the second round at the Australian Open as a qualifier. In Melbourne, he defeated Andrey Rublev in the first round in straight sets.

That was his first victory over a top-10 player.

Fonseca has won 10 of 12 outings this season. He defeated eighth seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the first round by the loss of just six games. The young Brazilian has moved into the ATP top 100 and is now placed 94th in the live ranking.

Federico Coria also won his first-round tie in straight sets. The Argentine, who was handed a lifeline to feature in the main draw after elimination in the qualifiers, defeated Hugo Gaston. He won by the loss of five games.

Last season, Coria produced his best-ever result in this tournament by earning a semi-final finish. Despite winning his opener to improve to a 7-5 record, Coria has dropped 23 places in the live ranking to 138th.
