Write Up - Play #2
Weintraub is a solid Challanger player. He is 7-8 on the year, but he barely lost to Ito in the semis last tment. He will have a bunch of confidence. He beat his opponent today just last week in one close set & one blow out set. Uchiyama has lost his only two matches this year, both first round. I look for Weintraub to get thru again today & play another good tment this week.
Ferrer is Ferrer. He will bring 110% today & I think Verd will have to bring his best game to really challange here & make this close. Ferrer does play tight matches, but he comes out on top ALOT. Ferrer is definetly the better player here, and if he brings HIS A game, Verd will be out of the tment. Look for Ferrer to win a hard fought match & move on.
Monaco has played some great clay tennis this season. He won Houston & he looked really solid there when I saw him play his second round match. I did see Ungur play as well. He did not look strong at all! He hit a ton of errors & had no weapons that will hurt Monaco. His serve was average at best & if Monaco brings his best today, Ungur will go down fast. If he doesn't, this match could be close. Look for Monaco to start well this week & move into the next round.
