Jurgen Melzer, the Austrian with a German sounding name, has made the last eight after a straight sets victory this afternoon over Mischa Zverrev, who is German. The scores on the Mecedes sponsored doors were 7-5, 7-5.
In the last eight he will face the Spaniard, Albert Montanes, who is a confirmed clay court specialist. Melzer has a 3-1 lead in the head to head stats but they haven't faced each other this year. The only time that the Austrian has ordered from the losers menu against Montanes was when he retired in the second set back in 2002.
he should be a 1/2 chance (1.5) to make the semi-final but at present there are no prices available.
