A spot in the next round is at stake on Friday, when Juan Pablo Varillas goes up against Matheus Pucinelli De Almeida in the Bogota quarterfinal. Matheus Pucinelli De Almeida has won 7 in a row and 9 of the last 10 overall. Juan Pablo Varillas has won 6 of the last 10.
There is no history here: this is their first tour-level meeting.
There's a wide gap in our ratings on clay, and our number follows from it. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Almeida fractionally more likely to land the big points.
