Very nice tennis pick coming from the second round of an ATP tournament in Barcelona, where Argentinean qualifier Federico Del Bonis meets Kevin Anderson from South Africa. 21-year-old Federico Del Bonis is one of the talented youngsters that are slowly making impact on the main tour and we will surely hear a lot about him in the future as he has the game and potential to develop into a very quality player. The admirer of Guillermo Vilas and Bjorn Borg nicknamed "Delbo" considers clay and outdoors hard courts as his favourite surfaces and he also showed some good form this year having a very solid 24-8 match record. Del Bonis has qualified for many ATP tournaments this year and the same happened also here in Barcelona and he is yet to lose a set here. Btw. Del Bonis is another player who often trains in this Spanish city. Kevin Anderson is a player who is profiting from his hard work and making most out of his abilities. He used to be a college player and later a player ranked just inside the Top100 but a lot has changed since last year and now Anderson is stable Top40 player with two ATP titles. Anderson is a big guy who relies on his big serve and powerful groundstrokes but also has limited movement that should be exposed on the slower red clay. Anderson defeated Jaziri in his first match in Barcelona but Del Bonis is a player of different potential and should have great chance to reach the next round. Del Bonis should not be an underdog here and so is simply an excellent tennis pick today.

I would like Estonian to get his 2nd win in ATP main draw, but Brands is more experienced on this level and in form, he played very well in first round . Also Zopp is not the fittest player on tour, it is his 5th match in 5 days and usually at this stage of tournament he struggles with tiredness
Andreev over Raonic @2.35
Looks like Andreev is back in form, 3 good wins in Casablanca and easy 1st round in Barcelona. Raonic as fav on clay is always suspect if not clear fading material.
How on earth can Andujar lose to Farah, who is a better doubles player than singles and is ranked 246, at his home tournament? Of course favs don't always win but there's something fishy about this match...especially the 3rd set stats, where Andujar couldn't buy a point on his 2nd serve which is impossible against Farah. But these fishy situations happen from time to time I guess?
