Two great clay-courters will play this final, both are in great form.Yesterday Verdasco played great against the italian Fabio Fognini 6-1 6-3 who showed good tennis but the spanish was too much for him. Verdasco's first serve was great, also he had won a lot of points with great attacking shots, he could find many times the right corner even if Fognini covered not bad the court. The spaniard played on his best level yesterday. Igor Andreev is a great clay-courter, no doubts, but he still he under class Verdasco, as he will make more mistakes then Verdasco and his attacking style won't help him very much as Fognini played in this way and couldn't find the success. Another fact is that Andreev is not so stable as Verdasco is, as in Gstaad and in respective tournament he had games where he won with difficulty. Could be a tight match, but even if the game will develope in this way still Verdasco will have clear first chance as he is in his best form at the moment and is over the russian player, simple as that. Head to head: 2-0 for Verdasco, but this had happened a long time ago and will have almost a trifling influence.
