ATP Tennis Match of the Week: Fognini vs. Bellucci
Friday, February 4, 2011 at 9:42AM
Yes there is a tournament on red clay this week, and yes there are players from the likes of Colombia, Italy, Argentina and Brazil making their way through the draw.
That brings us to an intriguing matchup between two 23-year olds that have never played before.
Fabio Fognini of Italy and Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil. Should be a close match on clay as Fognini should be able to neutralize some of the game of the higher ranked Bellucci.
I have picked Bellucci to be my surprise player of 2011, and I think he comes through in this match at the Movistar Open in Santiago Chile.
Prediction: Bellucci in 3 sets.
