Simon v Baghdatis in Dubai first round – who will win?

Question

Who will win the first round match between 18th ranked Gilles Simon and world No. 37 Marcos Baghdatis in Dubai in 2010?

Answer 1

Simon was beaten in the first round in Marseille last week, and will still be looking for match fitness after a knee injury kept him out of competition for the year until then. Baghdatis won the Sydney title in January, and lost to eventual champion Michael Lllodra in Marseille last week. The Cypriot should win this to take a 2-1 lead over Simon in their head-to-head matches.
