If you like pure, unfiltered tennis shotmaking, this is the match for you.

I see it as a pretty even steven contest as clay isn't the best surface for either of these players. 

They have only played once, that was in a Davis Cup tie earlier this year on hardcourts.  Verdasco won in straight sets, but Malisse is sneaky good in big situations. 

Prediction:  I think Verdasco might have a little too much, but it's going to be close - 5 close sets.
