Ivo Karlovic - Albert Montanes

Ivo Karlovic - Albert Montanes :Montanes@1.74 pinnacle

Karlovic's performances on clay are under mediocre, because his service based game is not suited to the slow conditions that the clay surface offeres. The power from his service is diminueted and along with it , a big part of his game.He is not used to play long rallies , and on clay this is essential. They have met 1 time already , Karlovic won , it was in Houston but the surface there is a hybrid betweet clay and hard, being a lot faster than usual clay courts. It should be said that Karlovic managed to beat Grosjean last week on clay.
Montanes should have a big advantace on clay , and with the home crowd supporting him, he should win.
