Carlos, already in the quarterfinals after barely defeating the Argentine Etcheverry in three sets. He now faces the Kazakh Aleksandr Bublik in an unprecedented duel, even though the Spaniard is the favorite due to his status as number one in the ranking – from the other side of the draw. He won the first set 6-3, not without difficulties, since Bublik is making good use of his powerful serve, his best weapon.
