Head-to-head record 0:0

Rohan Bopanna, the Indian singles number 1 will play Albert Montanes of Spain. Monatnes turned professional in1990 but is yet to win ATP tour singles title in his career. However, he has been a consistently good player during his career. He first entered the top-100 in 2001 and has never dropped out of top-100 since then. Before 2007, his career high ranking was 53 in March, 2002. But he eclipsed that in August, 2007, reaching a new high of 45. He is a typical Spanish claycourter – defensive minded player whose style of play is all about movement and baseline play. He has a great fitness and likes long rallies. On the contrary, Rohan Bopanna prefers rapid surfaces on which he can utilize his solid serve and attacking play. He is a doubles-specialist who reached the first ATP doubles title at the Chennai Open paired with Prakash Amritraj. He paired up with Pakistan's Quereshi in the middle of 2007, nick named the 'Indo-Pak Express' they went on to win 4 Challenger titles in a row, and his double rankings moved up to a new high of 84. They reached the final of the Mumbai tournament. Even when he is better doubles player, he is continuously trying to play singles as well and has already reached several solid results. We believe he is able to defeat Spaniard on ultra fast surface today and these odds can be taken.
