Former title winners Thomaz Bellucci and Fernando Gonzalez are set to highlight Thursday play, as they take to the court against respective opponents Federico Delbonis and Joao Souza. The winners move into the quarterfinals.
(3) Thomas Bellucci vs. (Q) Federico Delbonis
World No. 37 Thomas Bellucci looks to regroup after suffering a second-round loss to Gael Monfils at the Australian Open. The 2010 Vina del Mar champion will be making his fourth appearance at the tournament this week. He is 2-2 for the 2012 season.
Delbonis began the week with a 6-0, 6-3 ousting of wildcard Nicolas Massu. The Argentine qualifier is bidding for his second tour-level victory of the year.
(WC) Fernando Gonzalez vs. Joao Souza
Four-time former champion Fernando Gonzalez won his first match of the year against Pere Riba, 6-4, 6-4. The 31-year-old veteran looks to record consecutive wins for the first time since Wimbledon 2011.
Souza passed into the second round by virtue of his three-set upset of 8th seed Filippo Volandri. The Brazilian will attempt to make his second quarterfinal in Chile.
