Acapulco ATP 500
Top Seeds:
1. Nalbandian <- is anyone suprised?
2. Monfils
3. Robredo
4. Almagro
5. Acasuso
6. Montanes
7. Granollers
8. Moya
My pick: Tommy “en fuego” Robredo
Underdog Pick: Everyone other than Robredo… but if I had to pick I’d go Bellucci
Results:
Almagro d. Vassallo-Arguello 6-4 6-4
Acasuso d. Robredo 7-5 6-2 <-- suprising result, well done Acasuso
To take out the guy who has won the last two consecutive clay court ATP events in straight sets 5 and 2 is quite a feat. Credit where it is due, Acasuso should get some sort of knock out bounty bonus to his pay check this week!
Monfils d. Acasuso 6-3 6-4
Finals:
Monfils vs. Almagro
Going to be an interesting final. I’d have to pick Almagro but he has a little bit of underachieving in him. Monfils leads the head-to-head series 2-1 and won the last two meetings BUT both were on hard courts and there is a massive difference in the way these guys play on clay and hard… and I’m going to take what I deam to be an underdog pick in Almagro to win.
Should be a great match to watch, enjoy!
