Santoro has 14/20 balance on clay in whole career! While Hernandez 153-119. Also he is 36 years old, so it would be hard for him to struggle with clear clay courtier. Spaniard performed well in last matches. I saw couple of matches on Australian open and Frenchman didn’t impress me. Santoro played with a lot of unforced errors. So it will be hard for him to beat more experienced player.
It will be 4 match for Lu in his carreer. The last 3 he lost of cource. I saw Calleri in first round tournament in Argentina. So he looked good - powerfull backhand and strong attacks. But his opponent was Ferrero so he played simple better and won this match but nevertheless Calleri strugled until the end of the match. So i think he wiil be able to crush his unexpirienced opponent.
OOO nice pick i found. I saw match between Soderling - Federer few days ago. So Soderling showed nothing exept numerous of unforced errors because he lost very often concentration and tried to attack sharp and impressive. It seems he can lose match without opponent xD. In first set he loosed almost everything that he can to loose. Simon plays solid with Ivan L returning well and waiting for opponents error. But things go wrong and at the end of 2 set where he had a huge advantage he lost himself and lost a set. But nevertheless he played good and Soderling is very suitable for him because he tries to win a point in one or two shots. And makes too much unforced errors. And Simon is expert of collecting them.
First half of match E. Schwank often starts strong his serve is good and on the baseline he isn`t worse than Seppi. This odds don`t represent the real situation because books think that E. Schwank is too weak now even for Seppi. But they are the same players. Seppi rarely produce powerful attacks, on his serve most opponents can play. He can return well but Schwank can play more powerfull to hold his serve. So we have here same opponents and I see value in Schwank now.
It seems that J. Acasuso is not ready to show his normal form. Two weeks ago he lost in Rome to Tipsarevich who is weak player on clay surface. Also he didnt play on last tournaments bettwen that two masters. He often played weak on european tournaments. Loosing in first round. The unfoced errors very often dont allow him too win, because he can produce a lot of it. So it wiil be stake against Acasuso because there are many reasons to consider that he is out of form.
Both teams play open football and dont care too much about defensive style of play. Also clubs now are in the miidldle of the table so the game won`t be very important for both teams. Malaga at home prefers offenicive style of play so it will be many chanses for Racing Santander to score one or two goals. Also Racing Santander dont like to play in defence. So i expect many goals in this game
I. Karlovic has a huge serve with exelent accuracy that gives him advantage even on clay. Also he likes such small tournaments because there he can defend a title of cource if he will be lucky. F. Cipolla has very weak service and he cant produce powerfull atacks. So croatian will not have big troubles with returning. So I thnk that I. Karlovic can make easy win here and reach SF
