THE PREDICTION
29-year-old Federico Coria rarely gets to play against players who faced his elder brother Guillermo theses days but the Argentine will meet 39-year-old Feliciano Lopez here in Paris where his brother Guillermo last beat the Spaniard at the 2003 Paris Masters. World number 62 Lopez turned pro three years begore Guillermo and is remarkably still going strong with two wins from his last five on tour and he looks the favourite for this first meeting with the younger Coria too. Federico, the world number 94, enjoyed a decent South American swing on clay earlier this year and he reached the Belgrade Open 2 quarter-finals last week before losing to Novak Djokovic but over five sets Lopez’ experience should shine through. Take this match to see over three sets if that is available but otherwise Lopez is still fit enough to last out a potential five-set tussle as the outright winner.
