Prediction published on 10/17/24, 3:58 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 10/17/24 at 5:09 AM in Tennis Picks

Match after match at the Almaty tournament in Kazakhstan, and in this quarter-final, Canadian Gabriel Diallo takes on Chile's Alejandro Tabilo. Gabriel Diallo won his first two rounds in just 2 sets against Christopher O'Connell, ranked 72nd in the world, and Borna Coric, ranked 96th in the world. These are 2 fine victories against opponents ahead of him in the ATP rankings for the man who didn't get past the first round in Shanghai earlier this month and who was stopped in the semi-finals of the Hangzhou Challenger by Mackenzie McDonald, ranked 137th in the world, last week.

For his part, Alejandro Tabilo is the tournament's number 2 seed. Winner of his 8th final in just 66 minutes against Maximilian Marterer, the Chilean doesn't have much time left to hope for a good result at the end of the season. After a run of 8 consecutive defeats a few weeks ago, the Chilean should be looking to do better in this tournament, to regain the early-season form that saw him win both the Auckland tournament on hard court and the Majorca tournament on grass. He should give his all in this match to reach the semi-finals and get as close as possible to the title.
