A very interesting match awaits us in the 1/16 finals at the tournament in the city of Maia. What is the significance of this clash between Andrea Collarini and Alexei Vatutin? The thing is that the Argentine missed his last game against Luca Van Assche just a week ago citing an injury. Does the Russian have a good chance of success?

It is hard to pick a clear favourite in this encounter, as neither player is playing well at the moment. Nevertheless, we suggest favouring Vatutin in the upcoming match. He has at least no health problems at the moment, while Collarini had to withdraw from the opening match at the recent Challenger in Valencia because of a leg injury.
The tennis players are in roughly equal playing conditions at the moment. Collarini has only three wins in his last ten matches, while Vatutin has two. We believe that the coming head-to-head encounter will be a long one.
Collarini only managed to perform well in the autumn part of the season on the courts of Coquimbo. On that Challenger, the Argentine tennis player managed to reach the quarter-final stage of the competition.
Andrea showed his best game in the first half of the season. First, he played in the Buenos Aires Challenger final, then reached the final in Vicenza, where he lost to Andrea Pellegrino of Italy.
Collarini has lost his first-round match in five of the last six tournaments.
Vatutin has only two wins in his last ten games. Obviously, the Russian tennis player is not at his best at the moment.
Last week, Alexey took part in the Indore Challenger in Andria, where he lost in the first round in two sets to Jelle Sels. However, it should be recalled that Vatutin has already won one trophy this season. In February, he triumphed in one of the futures, which took place on the indoor hard court.
Vatutin has been defeated in his last ten matches at the Challenger level.
