Who do you think is going to the semifinals?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Pune Quarterfinals Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Stefano Travaglia vs Elias Ymer<\/h4>\n<p>H2H: Ymer 1-0 Travaglia<\/p>\n<p>Both players had very impressive showings in their last matches, with Travaglia allowing Yuki Bhambri only five games in a quick victory, while Ymer took out the top seed <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2021\/02\/13\/aslan-karatsev-remarkable-rise\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Aslan Karatsev<\/a> in the second round to improve his record to 6-1 in 2022. For the Swede, it is his second main tour quarterfinal, reaching the first one more than five years ago at Gstaad 2016. The 25-year-old leads the head-to-head over Travaglia, beating him in straight sets at a Challenger in 2019. If Ymer can bring his A-game again, he should beat out Travaglia.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Ymer in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Bl5BtzfXSzNhbHnZfun6-g\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1356801620\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Bl5BtzfXSzNhbHnZfun6-g',sig:'xrtrxBiTxQ_XdjLufhLZJj4WTVb1OM-y3iHTRfHVONA=',w:'594px',h:'389px',items:'1356801620',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Kamil Majchrzak vs Lorenzo Musetti<\/h4>\n<p>H2H: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Majchrzak followed up his first-round win over qualifier Jay Clarke with another straight-set win over Quentin Halys in the second round. Musetti got his first win of 2022 in the second round after his first-round bye. The young Italian defeated Aleksandar Vukic in an entertaining three-set battle. A similar match can be expected here, though I expect the Pole to come out on top.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Majchrzak in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"McUiHpQ8Qk9CBiv8jgU-Qw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1362842317\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'McUiHpQ8Qk9CBiv8jgU-Qw',sig:'uQoyDdc_nO8zO342PQSEd6ruf44MlU6jKYBEpTiRoNo=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1362842317',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Joao Sousa vs Daniel Altmaier<\/h4>\n<p>H2H: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>The former No. 28 is in his first Tour-level quarterfinal since September 2019, though the road has certainly been rocky. The 32-year-old had to come back from a set down in both of his matches, first against wildcard Arjun Kadhe and then pushed all the way to a third-set tiebreak by third seed Gianluca Mager. Altmaier did not come into Pune in good form but has mended it over the past two rounds. The German first eliminated wildcard <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2019\/03\/11\/prajnesh-gunneswarans-efforts-expectations-tempered-pragmatism\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Prajnesh Gunneswaran<\/a> in straight sets before coming back from a set down against Radu Albot. Sousa has pushed his way to the quarterfinals but I think the long previous matches will catch up with him now and Altmaier will be too much for him at this point in his career.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Altmaier in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"eazNRa1gSOZvPohJfmfhEQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1365115624\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'eazNRa1gSOZvPohJfmfhEQ',sig:'5rzOv4HdOCw9MGYfXmT3Rgis8xvyqoGB1fhveggd6Fc=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1365115624',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Emil Ruusuvuori vs Jiri Vesely<\/h4>\n<p>H2H: Ruusuvuori 1-0 Vesely<\/p>\n<p>We have an exciting meeting of two of the biggest favorites for the title here. Vesely, the defending champion, looked good in his opening match with a straightforward win over Bernabe Zapata Miralles. Ruusuvuori has looked great in his first two wins over Egor Gerasimov and Vit Kopriva. The 22-year-old has won their previous meeting last January in Antalya in straight sets and I believe he will win again. This match promises a lot of firepower from both players and if both of them are at their best, we could be looking at the best match of the tournament.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Ruusuvuori in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo from Getty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The quarterfinal line-up is set at the ATP Tata Open Maharashtra in Pune.
