Almagro vs Satral

This is a tip for Jan Satral #230 to beat Nicolas Almagro #114

 

First Challenger tournament for Almagro since 2006, really? I know he come back from injury but really, I can't understand this. Major question, will he be 100% motivated? I don't think so. If you think like me, this tip is for you. If you don't think like me, that tip won't interested you.

 

I'm based my tip on a lack of motivation of Almagro clearly and that will be my only hope for winning this tip.

 

But be careful, this Satral is a good player. He is a clay court specialist and he is 32/14 and hitting best year on tour. It's been 7 challengers in a row that he didn't lose in the 1st round, okay the draws were easier, but still. Reaching 3 QF and 1 R16 in his last 7 challengers, we are talking about a player in form.

 

Of course, Almagro is a better tennis player. But Almagro not at 100% of motivation will be a better tennis player? I'm not to sure. This is not an easy draw for him as well.

 

Satral did manage to beat young star from France Calvin Hemery, Donskoy Evgeny, Jozef Kovalik, all recently. This in form player can put in lot of troubles to Almagro.

 

I do like Almagro a lot but I can't imagine him playing his best tennis in a Challenger while Satral will give it's all.
