Robredo was immense at Roland Garros a month ago but since the transition to grass he has not achieved the results that he dearly wants. Going out in the opening round at Ordina to Baghdatis is not a good thing as the latter is ranked 95th in the world and yet Robredo is in the top twenty. If Robredo wants to improve his standings, he has to learn how to adapt to this surface and not over rely on clay like what world number one Nadal did before 2009.

If one takes a look at Robredo's score card which reflects his opening two rounds, matches between him and his opponent are just merely separated by a break in each set at most which goes to show that all his games are tight. I think Sela will start off in a bright note and therefore a tie break should not be discounted as well.

Pick: Dudi Sela first set 7-6@8.50
