Fourth seed Zsombor Piros and seventh seed Fabio Fognini will on Friday battle each other at the 2023 AON Open. They will square off in the quarterfinals with the winner playing either fifth seed Thiago Monteiro or the qualifier Chun-hsin Tseng next. Zsombor Piros has compiled a 40-24 record thus far this season. He has won 30 of the 46 matches he has played on clay. To advance to this round, he defeated unseeded Francesco Passaro in three sets. The Dutchman has faced a crowd favourite in each round and will hope the outcome is the same on Friday. Piros has won two challenger titles thus far on clay and will hope for a third in his debut in Genoa. He is up one place to 111th in the live ranking.

Fabio Fognini is also making his debut in Genoa and has been in good form, winning both his matches in straight sets. In the last round, he defeated the qualifier and compatriot Giovanni Oradini by the loss of three games. He will hope to be as dominant throughout the tournament in his quest to take charge of his season. Fognini has struggled in 2023 and has lost more matches than he has won. He has compiled a 14-15 record. A positive note though is that all 14 of his victories have been on clay. The former world number nine is currently ranked 146th in the live ranking.
