Marcos Baghdatis - Noah Rubin

O'Connell barely yesterday fell in Rotterdam after playing 5 matches in 6 days, including the qualification rounds and reaching the quarterfinals, which is a very good achievement for a player at his level on the ATP tour. And today, the following day, not even a day has passed and having spent almost 9 hours on the plane, he flies to Doha and immediately meets with the Spaniard who had a week of rest. Last season, they played twice on hard courts, sharing victories in 6 sets in intense battles. I believe the circumstances are very favorable for the Spaniard to take the win today in Peru, and fairly easily at that.
