Who will win SA Tennis Open 2010?

Question

Who will win SA Tennis Open 2010? Gael Monfils is the top seed, but he could face some stiff competition from the second seeded David Ferrer.

Answer 1

Monfils holds a 1-0 head-to-head advantage over Ferrer, but that was on clay at Roland Garros so it’s tough to judge a favourite from those statistics. Monfils was a third round departure from the 2010 Australian Open, while Ferrer was knocked out in the second round – in an epic against Marcos Baghdatis. Ferrer might cause the upset if these two eventually meet in the final.

Answer 2

Don't forget Flip Lopez. I'd rate him at least the equal of David Ferrer, though he has a tough semi against Monfils
