THE PREDICTION
20-year-old Carlo Gimeno Valero was handed a wildcard to make his ATP tour debut at the Madrid Open here in what will be the most important day of his young life. The world number 369 faces an interesting opportunity here with world number 21 Gael Monfils coming in cold with no clay-court practice this season and his last match coming over a month ago. 35-year-old Monfils is experienced enough to know that this is a potential banana skin against a plucky underdog likely to be backed to the hilt by the Spanish crowd but when fit this season he has produced some of the best tennis of his career. The Frenchman was twice a quarter-finalist here in 2008 and 2010 but there is more than a scent of an upset here that makes taking him to win at least a set the suitably cautious, uninspiring pick and taking young Gimeno Valero to snatch at least one the tempting risk.
