Fourth-seeded Jordan Thompson faces fifth-seeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the Atlanta Open quarter-finals. The winner will take on either eighth seed Max Purcell or qualifier Juncheng Shang in the last four. Let’s look at this match in depth and make our prediction.

Thompson is up to 39th in the live rankings after making it to the last eight of this hard court tournament. That’s still below the career-high of 32nd he achieved five months ago. He’s still playing in this tournament despite withdrawing from the Paris Olympics.

Earlier this year, the Australian reached the final of the Los Cabos hard court tournament. This is his fourth hard court quarter-final of the year. He has only had to win one match to get this far and that was a straight sets win over lucky loser Harold Mayot.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is the world number 43 and could get back into the top 40 if winning this match. He is playing his first tournament since Queen's Club and received a wild card to play in this hard court event. 

He'd been struggling with form and only won one of his last five matches. He has returned to form this week with two straight sets victories. Arthur Cazaux and Reilly Opelka have both been beaten. by the Spaniard.

He's 1-1 in previous meetings and won their only hard court match. That was three years ago though.We tip Thompson to win this.
