Pedro Martinez vs Luciano Darderi prediction
Pedro Martinez advanced in Buenos Aires after a straight sets win over Juan Manuel Cerundolo. Early breaks were exchanged between the pair, with Martinez crucially saving a break point at 4-3 down to keep the match on serve. The first set was decided on a tiebreak with the Spaniard winning four points in a row from 5-3 down. Martinez was broken when serving for the match but broke in the next service game to win 7-6 (5) 6-4.
He now faces Luciano Darderi in the next round. The Italian easily defeated Tomas Barrios Vera to get through to the next round. Darderi won the first five games as he raced ahead in the first set. Three more breaks were secured in the second as he won 6-1 6-3 after just one hour and 22 minutes.
Martinez will take confidence from his two victories, having made the semi-finals of the event last year. Nevertheless, Darderi is ranked over 70 places higher and showed how effective he can be on this surface with three ATP titles last year.
