In brief:

Darderi -2.5 games (HDP)1.701u
  • I tend to trust Luciano Darderi against Dalibor Svrcina in Los Cabos.
  • I can understand the doubts around the Italian for his first hard court match of this tour, especially since he can sometimes become quite inconsistent when the conditions speed up.
  • But the courts in Los Cabos should actually limit this problem. They are among the slowest on the hard court circuit, especially during the night sessions with a lot of humidity.
  • Darderi should therefore have enough time to organize himself, move around his backhand and impose the power of his forehand.
  • And even in faster conditions, I find the match-up would be particularly complicated for Svrcina.
  • The Czech is capable of defending, returning a lot of balls and making the exchanges uncomfortable, but he clearly lacks the power to push Darderi back behind the baseline.
  • He is likely to suffer a lot as soon as the Italian manages to take the initiative, without necessarily having the necessary weapons to reverse the balance of power.
  • Of course, I will probably have to accept some lulls from the Italian, who might need a little time to find his bearings on hard court.
  • But in the long run, the power gap seems too important: Svrcina will constantly be relegated behind his baseline, while Darderi will much more often have the opportunity to dictate the exchanges with both feet on the court.
  • In these slow conditions and against such an unimpressive opponent, I expect to see the Italian find a solution and cover this -2.5 game handicap.
