Trending
The match will be played at the Zimmerman Court, where Quinn will enjoy the support of his home crowd against the Australian. Quinn was victorious against Rudy Quan in three sets and Carl Emil Overbeck in straight sets earlier at the tournament. He has been seeded eighth and is one of the youngest players.
After failing to make it to the main draw at the US Open, Quinn participated in three Challenger tournaments in Columbus, Charleston, and Tiburon. His campaign in all three tournaments was halted within the first two rounds as he looks to pick up momentum in Fairfield.
Schoolkate, on the other hand, is the second seed at Fairfield and has defeated Alexey Zakharov and Bruno Kuzuhara, both in straight sets in the earlier rounds at the venue. He reached the second round at the US Open, losing to Jakub Mensik in a five-set battle. He has also participated in all the same venues as Quinn since then and has been unable to cruise further than the second rounds.
The quarterfinal promises a closely contested match. Both players have been in similar shape in the last twelve months. Quinn has won 51% of matches and Schoolkate 56%.

Ethan Quinn vs Tristan Schoolkate prediction
The American loves playing from the baseline, where he can easily use his forehand to his advantage and make his opponents run for points. On the other hand, the Australian is a counterpuncher who thrives on using his competitor's pace against them. Quinn possesses more raw power when it comes to dominating the game and has a bigger serve than Schoolkate, which may favor him.
While the 23-year-old is good at the net, he also thrives playing from the back and defending until his opponents make an error. Schoolkate may adopt a more strategic approach in dealing with Quinn's power by using his accuracy and unpredictability, mixing drop shots, and enticing him to come to the net, before going for winners.
Based on their recent match and run, Schoolkate is the favorite to move to the next round. He has also played against slightly better opposition (average rank of 286) than Quinn (average rank of 265), gaining more advantage of maintaining his composure under pressure.
Pick - Tristan Schoolkate wins in three sets.
