The only meeting between these two players happened last month or so with Amagro being surprised by an in form of Gulbis on that day. The match went to a three setter before Ernest won 6-2 in the deciding set. Currently. Amagro is ranked thirty four in the world and Ernest is at number forty. Both players actually come into this match having very poor form in recent weeks, not venturing far in tournaments. But basin on their overall performance on the year, I will have to tip Almagro for the victory today simply because his 14-10 record is better than Gulbis's 8-14.

Spanish players always triumph on clay and as Almagro takes on Ernests, his long rallies might prove to tiring for the young opposition today. Ernests is still considered one of the so called younger players on the tour and this might juyst be a step too far for him to take on. Go for the Spanish to win this match albeit dropping a set midway through the match.

Almagro 3-1 @ 4.33 with bet365
