ATP Tour Match of the Week: Almagro vs. Hanescu

The last ATP match before the French Open begins.

It's on clay, in Nice, so that favors the Spaniard, Almagro.  Hanescu has done well to get to the finals here.  His run will come to an end as Almagro owns Hanescu in three career meetings.

Both players are looking for momentum heading into Roland Garros, and Almagro should be able to pick up another clay court title.  He's kind of a reincarnation of Albert Costa.  Costa would travel the world looking for clay court events, even though he was competent on hard courts.

Prediction:  Almagro in two sets.
