Wide open draw.

Can see a lot of competitive matches. Gonzalez in the bottom portion looks like a good shot to the semis, but seems short at +300 to me because he might face Ferrer or Bellucci - both of whom I think have a legit shot against him. Up top, wow just pick a horse and run with it. Verdasco as the top seed could face Kubot in the 2nd round. Monaco in the QFs and Ferrero or two-time defending champ Almagro in the semis. Don't like him at +450 because of that road. Almagro at +700 might be a good long shot. He's not hot coming into this, but has done extremely well here. I think this might be the tournament where Ferrero's string of playing successive tournaments runs him out of gas. He's got Andreev waiting in the 2nd potentially and then possibly Almagro in the QFs. I also think Ferrer at +750 is decent. If he beats Bellucci in Round 2, he's into the semis I think and would match up against Gonzalez. Bellucci at +1250 is a good long shot too.
