Carlos Taberner vs Luciano Darderi prediction

Luciano Darderi is within touching distance of back-to-back tour-level titles after seeing off Camilo Ugo Carabelli in Umag.

The second seed ousted the third seed 7-6 6-3 to reach his second straight final after triumphing in Bastad last week.

The Italian will now battle Carlos Taberner for the winner’s trophy after the Spaniard stunned fourth seed Damir Dzumhur 6-2 6-1 in the other semi-final.

This will be a first meeting between the pair with Darderi sure to be the favourite, but you write off the Spanish underdog at your peril.

The world number 111’s forehand has been incredible all week long and he has taken down a catalogue of big names, including defending champion Francisco Cerundolo, on his way to a first ever ATP-tour level final.

He could well spring the upset if he doesn’t get stage fright in the biggest match of his career to-date. The odds won’t be great for Darderi so it may be worth taking a punt on the Spaniard or it going the distance. 

Carlos Taberner vs Luciano Darderi tip: Over 2.5 sets
