One is assured to do so, with the World No. 142 Gonzalez and World No. 153 Olivo meeting in the first match on Centre Court. The 144th- ranked Kicker, who earned his first ATP win on Monday, challenges No. 1 seed Philipp Kohlschreiber. Should Kohlschreiber reach the semi-finals, he will have defeated three Argentines: Carlos Berlocq in the first round, Kicker in the second, and Gonzalez or Olivo in the quarter-finals. Also on Centre Court, No. 3 seed Pablo Cuevas faces Brazilian qualifier Thiago Monteiro for the third time this season. Cuevas defeated the left-handed Monteiro en route to back-to-back titles at Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in February. The Uruguayan is 12-1 overall against lefties in 2016, including wins over World No. 4 Rafael Nadal, Roland Garros quarter-finalist Albert Ramos- Viñolas, Marrakech champion Federico Delbonis and ’s-Hertogenbosch runner-up Gilles Muller.
