Up until today I thought Almagro, but now I'm going to say Jarkko in 4 or 5 sets. Neither are grass players so it will be dependent on who is more comfortable on the surface and can implement their gameplan the most effectively.
It takes more than that to be good on grass. A lot of guys have big serves and big groundstrokes, and struggle on grass. His movement is somewhere between below-average to horrendous on grass, his returning is at best mediocre, and he doesn't have a transition game. Also his timing on grass isn't good enough, he doesn't have the time nor does the ball bounce high enough for him to be effective.
