Garcia Lopez knows he will have a hard time today as he takes on world number 27 Tursunov. The big hitting Russian does play pretty well on this surface and it is no wonder he has the genuine chance of winning this tournament tomorrow.  His overall record in grass court matches have been impressive with a lifetime 25-14 statistics. Lopez could count his clay court adventure as a success as he wrapped up one of his wins at Austria and caused some major upsets.

Head to head between these two players currently stands 3-2 to the Russian and I believe he will come out tops today. His game is more suited to grass and Lopez will find it hard returning serves especially people like Tursunov who hits the ball very hard. Although Lopez record this year has been very good, I have noticed that he has struggled against payers within the top 50 category and hence, I do favour Tursunov to win in straight sets here.

Pick: Tursunov 2-0 @2.25
