The quarterfinal matches at the ATP 250 in Kitzbuhel are all set. Top seed Alexander Bublik is hunting a clay-court double this month after lifting his maiden ATP Tour title on the surface in Gstaad last week. He faces Alexander Shevchenko in an all-Kazakh clash for the second time in as many weeks. Who will advance?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head:<\/strong> Rinderknech 2-1 Hanfmann<\/p>\n Rinderknech’s comeback win against Gombos ensures he will contest a quarterfinal match in Kitzbuhel for a third time. The Frenchman was a semifnlaist when he last competed at this event two years ago, beating Hanfmann to make it that far. They will now square off on a clay court for the third time, with the head-to-head on the dirt finely poised at 1-1. It will be the German who starts as a favorite, and he has an even better track record in Kitzbuhel. Comfort in longer rallies means that Hanfmann is likely to get his revenge. Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n For the past six years, Kitzbuhel was not a regular pit stop for Jan-Lennard Struff. After recording seven wins in the first six-and-a-half months of the season before this week and leaving the Top 100, Struff needed to salvage his season. And the 35-year-old has played himself into form with two wins in qualifying and a couple more in the main draw to reach his first quarterfinal since February without losing a set. Cazaux is also coming off a mixed first half of the season, largely because of injury, but has hit his stride since Wimbledon. The Frenchman is an athletic shotmaker and plays with a lot of energy. It might be the first time this week that Struff wobbles.
