Analysis for Russel-Hartfield (Casablanca)

Head-to-head record 0:1

Hartfield is Argentinian youngster, who spent most of his career on challenger circuit and thanks to some winning streak in challengers in South America he reached the top 100. Hartfield is a typical claycourter with all what is needed for claycourt battle but he is serving pretty fast as well. On the other he still belongs rather to challenger level. Michael Russell from United States had an impressive start of the season. After many problems with injuries, he came back to the tour in style. He is playing with a lot of confidence and his style is great for medium-fast hard courts. He is a baseliner, who uses his speed and good footwork as his main advantages. He has achieved the carer-best result in Paris where he managed to advance to the French Open quarterfinals. But has never repeated this success on clay and even if he is one of the best Americans when playing on clay, he is far from being camparable to Hartfield on this surface. That is why we think that these odds don´t reflect the true reality and Diego Hartfield should be a favourite in this match. Anything above 1.8 should be worth of betting here.
