Monteiro - Escobedo

I choose Kazakhstani player Peru with a -2 game handicap, because Djere is in very poor form and does not perform well on Hard surfaces, while he feels more comfortable on CLAY surfaces. The Kazakhstani player will be playing at home, in front of his own fans, and he is a versatile tennis player in better form than his opponent.

Shevchenko is actually in pretty good shape, even at home before the dead and tortured djere. Here while the serve is still holding up well, the Kazakh is returning nicely. It's going to be tough for the djere to stay in the game, I think the Kazakh will show confidence here. The home court advantage still adds something.

Goffinas was doing pretty well on the hard court and indoor courts. The form was good, he could have played even better in Asia. Here, he plays with his own spectators, who are both good and bad players. Nonetheless, I think Goffinas is a better player here and has a chance to win.
