Qualifier Corentin Moutet bids to cause another upset in the Chile Open. He takes on the top seed and defending champion Nicholas Jarry in the quarter finals of this clay court tournament. The winner will be up against either fourth seeded Alejandro Tabilo or wild card Luciano Danderi for a place in the final. Moutet was ranked 140th when this tournament got underway but is up to 120th after this run to the last four in Santiago. The Frenchman had to qualify to get into the main draw and lost one set in his two qualfying matches. The first round of the main draw saw him cause a surprise when beating the seventh seed Roberto Carballes Baena in three sets, losing the middle one. He followed that up with a win over Thiago Augustin Tirante with again the match needing a final set after he lost the second one. Moutet has had three previous matches against Jarry and lost them all without winning a set. Only one was on clay and that was played last year.

Nicolas Jarry has only had to play 102 minutes to get to this quarter final. His opponent has had to be on court for over nine and a half hours. Jarry was ranked 22nd when this tournament got underway. He's down two places in the live rankings as he's defending all the ranking points earned when winning this title in 2023. This year has seen him reach a hard court quarter final and then the final in the Buenos Aires clay event. He beat Carlos Alcaraz on his way to that final. Jarry has had just the one match so far in Santiago with a straight sets win over unseeded Federico Coria. We tip him to win this match in straight sets.
