Analysis for Grosjean-Ramirez Hidalgo (Cassablanca)

Head-to-head record 0:0

Spaniard Ramirez Hidalgo doesn´t have an extraordinary form but this match is still of a big value for us. Grosjean is unpredictable player who can be defeated by everyone from the top 100. Experienced Frenchy doesn´t really love this surface and moreover, he seems to be loosing his speed. His movement is far from being good and even if his technique and drop shots can be still rated as the first-class, we don´t agree that he should be considered to be the favourite in this match. We saw his last match on clay in Houston where he was beaten by Argentinian claycourter Diego Hartfield after really bad performance. He seemed to be pretty desparate and he didn´t know what to play against Hartfield. Ramirez Hidalgo doesn´t definitely belong to the world class but he is actually similar to Hartfield. He is the pure clay courter and he has already shown that he is a big fighter. He never gives upand he is able to recover quickly and to win the match in which he is totally down. We think that chances to win this clash are 60:40 in favour of Spaniard and that is why we decided to back him strongly.
