It promises to be a terrific quarterfinal day of ATP action in Adelaide. Also, Mirra Andreeva vs Maya Joint is among the four matches on the WTA side<\/a>. Tommy Paul<\/a>, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, and Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot<\/a> are some of the ATP players who will take to the court. As always, we here at LWOT predict all the action.<\/p>\n

ATP Adelaide Quarterfinal Predictions
\nTomas Machac vs Jaume Munar<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

Machac produced dominant performances against James Duckworth and Quentin Halys, not dropping a set in either match. Munar comfortably defeated Daniel Altmaier before winning a tight battle against No. 3 seed Francisco Cerundolo. The Czech will undoubtedly be the aggressor in this contest. His superior overall talent means this match is on his racket. Munar is a fighter, but he can only win if Machac plays poorly, which feels doubtful.
Prediction: Machac in 2<\/p>\n

Ugo Humbert vs Alexander Shevchenko<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: Humbert 2-0 Shevchenko<\/p>\n

Humbert did not drop a set in either of his matches, while Shevchenko has won four times since qualifying to reach this point. In their previous meetings, Humbert handled his opponent\u2019s aggression in the rallies well, avoiding becoming overwhelmed. Doing that allows the Frenchman\u2019s superior serve to make the critical difference. That dynamic is most likely to occur again.
Prediction: Humbert in 2<\/p>\n

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Valentin Vacherot<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: Davidovich Fokina 1-0 Vacherot<\/p>\n

Both men had to overcome only one opponent to reach the quarterfinals (Thanasi Kokkinakis withdrew before his scheduled match with Vacherot due to an injury). Despite Vacherot\u2019s extraordinary triumph in Shanghai<\/a> last year, Davidovich Fokina is the more talented player. His aggressive and varied game also suits the conditions more, making him the likely winner.
Prediction: Davidovich Fokina in 3<\/p>\n

Tommy Paul vs Aleksandar Vukic<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

Vukic is the other player who has gone from qualifying to this point. All his victories, including one against Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/a>, were tough battles. By contrast, Paul\u2019s sole victory was against Reilly Opelka in straight sets. Although being battle-hardened might help Vukic somewhat, Paul is backed to win. The Australian\u2019s level in his four previous matches almost certainly would not be good enough to pass this challenge.
Prediction: Paul in 2<\/p>\n
