Benjamin Becker was a proud winner at Ordina last week, winning Schuettler in the final to claim his first trophy of the year. The German Ace looks in scintillating fashion and with that win in Netherlands last week, he sneaked up to the top 50 of the world rankings by just. Between the two, Melzer looks more comfortable between the two on grass. Melzer is more of a player on the tricky clay courts but on grass, he often lose out to better players. Moreover, he has taken part in lesser grass court events than on any other surfaces which tells us all.

In his run at the Ordina Open last week, Becker managed to dispose of star players such as Verdasco as well which shows that his win was not a fluke. Becker only turned pro in 2005 and if you compare with other players, rising to the world number 49 position is certainly much faster than many others on tour and even Melzer, who was on tour already in 1999, has not carried his game to another level.  Back on the unseeded German to knock the twenty sixth seed out.

Pick: Becker @1.61
