Almagro is the seed, but if I were to put money on an upset, this match might be the one.

I think Nieminen will get this. Almagro isn't good on grass, though he definitely could be.

Yes, he can be. He probably won't, but he can be. His movement isn't great, but he's a bigger hitter with a big serve and he could do well on grass.

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.

Head says Mugro edges it.
Heart says "Please Jarkko, take out the trash".
