Analysis for Nalbandian-Starace (Acapulco)

Head-to-head record 1:0

David Nalbandian of Argentine will face Potito Starace of Italia for the second time in the last two weeks. Nalbandian is obviously a favourite for this match but we think that Starace´s odds could be worth trying here. Both of them play in a great shape and we hope to see a nice match tonight. These two played one another last week in Buenos Aires and Nalbanian won on his home soil in 3 sets (4-6, 7-6, 6-4). The match was pretty tight and Nalbandian won by just 3 points in total. He eventually dominated at whole tournament and Starace was probably the highest hurdle on his way for Buenos Aires crown. This week, both players keep the high level of performances not dropping a single set so far. Nalbandian defeated Pashanski and Ventura and Starace beaten Lapentti and Luczak. Nalbandian is more versatile player and he is much better than Starace on fast surfaces but their clay court abilities are comparable and we see the chances 55:45 in Nalbandian´s favour. That is why we will try Starace´s odds above 3.0.
