In this round of 16 of the Belgian tournament in Antwerp, Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild takes on Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas. Thiago Seyboth Wild entered the tournament through the qualifying rounds, where he defeated Emilien Demanet, ranked 596th in the world, and Mark Lajal, ranked 216th in the world. He then went on to win a fine first-round match against France's Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in just 2 sets. After winning his first round match in Shanghai, the Brazilian didn't make it past the second round against top 5 Daniil Medvedev, and has only managed 2 consecutive wins on hard court in recent weeks in Winston-Salem. 

Stefanos Tsitsipas, meanwhile, is the number 2 seed and makes his debut here in this duel. The Greek should be looking for a result in this tournament to add a second title to his season. Winner of his first 2 rounds at the Shanghai Masters 1000 earlier this month against Kei Nishikori and Alexandre Muller, he faced top 5 Daniil Medevev in the last 8. In search of success on hard court, the Greek should have no difficulty in winning this first round and should reach another quarter-final, as he did in Los Cabos and Acapulco earlier this year.
