The quarterfinals day is upon us at the Astana Open 2020 and we have four very interesting matches in the schedule of play.
The Astana Open is entering its final days with the quarterfinals day scheduled today. There will be four very interesting matches with the first one starting at 07:00. Egor Gerasimov will take on
Frances Tiafoe. Both players enter this match in solid form especially Gerasimov who is very familiar with the event and courts. He has played some very good tennis lately and tomorrow is a good chance for him. After that match, we will see Paul take on Millman. Two players that had solid victories in the previous round. Both of them like to serve strong first serves and play short rallies so it should make for a good spectacle.
The third match of the day will be between Mannarino and McDonald. The American barely squeezed past Seppi in the previous round so his chances against Mannarino will be slim. The Frenchman impressed lately with very strong performances indoors. The final match of the day will be between the sole native player left Kukushkin and Ruusuvuori. The Finn had a strong victory against Thompson yesterday and now Kukushkin will be a similar change. It's hard to predict this match but Kukushkin is a very tricky player with great stamina which should suit him well if the match goes in three.
