Francisco Cerundolo vs Luciano Darderi prediction
Francisco Cerundolo meets Luciano Darderi in Madrid in the repeat of the recent final in Buenos Aires.
The Argentine galloped to 6-4 6-2 victory to lift the title on that occasion but the head-to-head stands at 3-2 with all five previous encounters taking place on clay.
Three of those five meetings went the distance and both players have shown excellent form on the dirt this year, suggesting this one won’t be easily won.
The faster conditions may well suit Fran more and he could get it done in two, but greater reward could be in backing another tussle to the wire.
Francisco Cerundolo vs Luciano Darderi tip: Over 2.5 sets
