THE PREDICTION
37-year-old Gael Monfils’ steady rise back up the rankings since returning from injury last summer has been hugely impressive, with recent runs to the round of 16 at Indian Wells and semi-finals in Doha seeing him back up to 40th this week. The former number six claimed his 12th ATP title at the Stockholm Open late last season to cap off an excellent hardcourt swing but he has never been at his best on clay, preferring to end points early – and spectacularly – on the faster surfaces. World number 60 Luciano Darderi claimed his maiden title at the Cordoba Open back in February, in only his third ever tournament on tour, and he has since reached the quarter-finals of the Chile Open and semi-finals in Houston on clay. The 22-year-old crashed out to eventual finalist Mariano Navone at this stage of the Bucharest Open last week but back him to enjoy his debut in Madrid by claiming at least a set in this likely three-setter.
TIP: LUCIANO DARDERI TO WIN A SET
