Kecmanovic Rampant in Rodionov Defeat
It had been a straightforward first round win for Kecmanovic against Luca Nardi but there was some fight expected in the second when he met Jurij Rodionov.
As it turned out, Kecmanovic needed a mere 64 minutes and the loss of just one game in his rout of his Austrian opponent. Kecmanovic won 6-0, 6-1 as he saved all three of the break-points he faced with ease.
In turn, Kecmanovic broke Rodionov six times in the match to clinch his place in the quarterfinal of an ATP tournament for the third time this season. Earlier, he had made the last eight in Adelaide and was a finalist at the Delray Beach Open.
Things could get slightly more challenging now against his clay-courter opponent who is coming off a stunning win over a 12th-ranked player.

Zapata Miralles Stuns Hurkacz
The difference in the pedigree of his first and second round opponents was stark but Zapata Miralles still managed to find a way to come through against both of them.
Having registered a straight-set win over the 596th-ranked Henrique Rocha in his opener, Zapata Miralles went the distance to stop the 12th-ranked Hubert Hurkacz. The match lasted two hours and 29 minutes and saw Zapata Miralles come back from being a set down to seal his last eight berth.
Zapata Miralles had a set-point in the opening tie-breaker but he missed that and off the third one that Hurkacz got, he sealed the lead.
In the second, the pair traded service breaks for the first time in the match before Zapata Miralles went 4-3 ahead with a second break of serve. He soon served out the equaliser before breaking Hurkacz again in the first game of the third set.
This time around there was no respite for the Polish number who dropped his serve yet again in the fifth game and fell away to a shock loss.
Interestingly, Zapata Miralles has made it to the semifinal on two previous occasions this season. Can he make it three in three clay court tournaments?
Kecmanovic v Zapata Miralles Prediction and Tip
Zapata Miralles could trouble his opponent here, and while he starts a second favourite here, might not be the worst call to go with him for a win given his form on clay.
