Analysis for Ginepri-Andujar (ATP French Open)

Head-to-head record 0:0

Pablo Andujar of Spain will play another American Robbie Ginepri in the first round. Ginepri is everything but a good claycourt matches out of 36 on clay during his career. Surprisingly, he kept some matches close last week in Duesseldorf but here is the slower surface which should bother him even more. Ginepri's plays an offensive baseline playing style. He is known for his powerful first serve, which he uses to earn free points with aces or put himself into position to hit a forehand winner. He is noted to use heavy topsin on both his serves. Ginepri will also occasionally use the serve-and-volley tactic on both first and second services to surprise his opponent, though he generally prefers to remain near the baseline after a serve. However, he is sometimes criticized for his lack of variety and bad movement. He really doesn’t like clay and even if he made a shockingly good performance here player. He is probably the worst of Yanks on the slowest surface as he has won just 9 at Roland Garros last year, we don’t believe he will manage to repeat it. His opponent Pablo Andujar is a solid clay court player whose YTD results have been horrible so far. He played some really good matches but sometimes looked like he lacks the motivation. He is very unpredictable player who is, however, capable of spectacular clay court performances. He is a dirt specialist with a game that revolves around groundstrokes with heavy topspin. On fast surfaces his game is compromised by his comparatively weak serve. Anyway, he is going to play the opponnet who is everything but not a clay-courter. Andujar´s odds above 2.0 are good enough for us.
