Duckworth was lucky in qualifying - he passed Purtseladze from the third hundred of the world ranking on refusal, and tritely ran over the veteran of the Kukushkin tour. It's definitely going to be more difficult with Blanchet. Hugo is on the move now - he won the selection in great style on the local courts. We believe that the Frenchman has a better chance of success in this pair.
Our betting tip is for Blanchet to win by a factor of 1.93
