Diaz Acosta Gets a Lucky Loser’s Spot
World no. 137 Facundo Diaz Acosta will be making his Grand Slam debut after he made it to the main draw as a lucky loser.
Diaz Acosta knocked out Franco Agamenone and Oleksii Krutykh in the first two rounds of the qualifiers in straight sets, but he went down to Austria’s Sebastian Ofner in the third qualifying round.
However, he got a lucky loser’s spot in the main draw.
The Argentine has been in stunning form recently and that defeat to Ofner had ended a 12-match winning streak for him.
Diaz Acosta’s series of wins began at the Savannah Challenger, where he went on to win the title. He carried that form to Oeiras-2 Challenger, winning back-to-back titles.
Earlier this season, Diaz Acosta had also reached the semifinals of the Concepcion and Santiago Challengers.
On the tour, he has a 1-1 record this season, while overall the clay court specialist is 24-11, which includes a 21-9 record on clay.
Kubler v Diaz Acosta Prediction and Tip
This is going to be a close contest. Kubler is not a bad player on clay, while Diaz Acosta is in fantastic form on the surface, although all those successes have come at lower level tournaments. This match could go the distance with the Argentine edging past the Aussie.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Diaz Acosta to win: 4/5
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 28.5 games in the match: 5/6
