First of all: congratulations for Alund. He climbed to TOP 100 after many years of playing challenger tour events. This week he's made it to the SF in Sao Paulo as a lucky loser, having defeated Mello (first ATP win), Chardy and Volandri en route.
Despite the obvious difference in skills between the Argentines from the title (Monaco & Alund) I think their achievement of career-high are comparable. They both reached it in their late 20s, grind from the baseline a lot without a clear weapon, and mostly play on clay (especially Alund, who is useless on other surfaces). What do you think?
