Federer is 1-4 in this tournament lifetime, including a 1 and 2 loss to Lubjicic 2 yrs ago.

ok, there are some decent clay courters there, particularly for that year, but i'm still not sold. i base my power ratings on current form only so i don't go back 2 years other than to get an overall feel. based on this year's clay season i don't see much to like with lopez. again, good luck as i have no $$ either way.

areef,

nice past post on burgsmuller

mjred,

I usually dont go back 2 yrs either but Lopez is only 20 yrs old.

i am also on puerta, burgsmuller, el aya for the reasons already given above.

I don't think federer will lose to lopez who is pretty rubbish. But I have laid federer for the event, he has a tough draw with corretja and gaudio to get through before the semis. Anything is an anticlimax after a wimbledon final.

For an upset, try arthurs to beat schuettler. he has beaten him in the past and schuettler has a slight thigh strain, arthurs is decent on clay.

I posted right after the match started in a seperate thread about line movements and my bets placed.
