Even though Granollers is currently ranked lower than Gabashvilli in the South African World standings, people still do favour him as spanish players are definitely will trained to deal with the clay surface. Their movement and technique is unquestionable and his recent exits from tournament can be said to be very unlucky because he has always been matched up against a top 20 player in almost all of his first round matches, which has hindered his progress. On the other hand, Gabashvill has failed to make it out of the round round in all but one exception and his game on clay is undoubtedly not as good.

In head to head encounters, the pair have only met once and that was in the australian open earlier in the year whereby Granollers ran out winner, but overall it was a tight game. I believe the spaniard has a decent chance of winning his georgian opponent today, but since both players standard are quite evenly match, it would be wiser to take Granollers on the 2-1 win rather than the 2-0 win.
