Sebastian Ofner vs Federico Coria
Austrian Sebastian Ofner is off to a slow start this season. Ofner has had a string of early exits from recent tournaments, including the Australian Open. So far, his best placement has been a semi-final in Hong Kong. Federico Coria, on the other hand, is on home turf. The Argentine reached the semifinals in Cordoba last week before returning to Argentina. The Austrian is seeded, but Coria will be flying high.
Prediction: Coria in 2
Juan Pablo Varillas vs Camilo Ugo Carabelli
Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas should be the favourite here. He is higher ranked than his Argentine opponent, although neither has had a very good start to the season. Carabelli recently won a challenger title in Brazil, so he’ll be riding high. Also, having qualified by defeating two seeded players, the Argentine will be seeking for another shock. As qualifiers are known to do in the first round.
Prediction: Varillas in 3
Andrea Vavassori vs Thiago Seyboth Wild
Andrea Vavassori, an Italian, qualified impressively here. Two matches were played, with both wins coming in straight sets, including one over a seed.

Prediction: Seyboth Wild in 3
Sebastian Baez vs Bernabe Zapata Miralles
Italian Andrea Vavassori qualified in great fashion here. Two matches were played, taking both in straight sets, including dispatching a seed.
