Alexander Blockx vs Luciano Darderi prediction
Luciano Darderi came from behind to end the run of Portuguese underdog Jaime Faria and reach the last four in Estoril.
The second seed fought back to triumph 2-6 7-5 6-2 over the world number 88 and will now tackle Alexander Blockx for the first time.
The fourth seed was also made to work hard as he ended the run of Roman Andres Burruchaga by a 6-4 5-7 6-4 scoreline.
This could well be another tense tussle with plenty of explosive hitting from both side of the net.
Blockx is perhaps more solid and consistent overall with Darderi’s variety and propensity for the spectacular making him dangerous on clay.
It’s a tough pick for the outright winner but we see plenty of games in this and a potential decider.
Alexander Blockx vs Luciano Darderi tip: Over 2.5 sets
