First Davis Cup rubbers of 2013. May add more single plays, but this is my main futures play + the early singles plays I liked best.
Germany to Advance +155
Outdoor clay for the Argentina-Germany clash. The Argies are not sending out a team at full strength. No Del Potro. Monaco was not 100% at the Aussie Open with a continued problem with a hand issue. Nalbandian has focused on getting healthy for this meeting, but he's yet to prove that. He starts off playing doubles, but likely could be inserted in singles play if needed on the back end. Berlocq opens against Kohlschreiber in singles. Kohlschreiber isn't quite at home on clay, but he is accomplished enough where he should be able to complete against Berlocq who also has some fitness questions. Monaco and Florian Mayer in the 2nd singles rubber. Monaco is definitely the bigger clay talent, but Mayer has had his number [5-1] on all surfaces. Even with his form iffy, Mayer should be able to make this rubber competitive. Doubles will feature Kas-Kohlschreiber against Nalbandian-Zeballos. Seems like a toss-up. The return singles rubbers would see Monaco against Kohlschreiber and Berlocq against Mayer. The questionable status of some of the Argentinian players should give Germany hope. If they can handle the hostile environment, they have the players to pull off the upset.
