BCR Open Romania

This week there will be 2 major tennis tournaments : China Open (Beijing) and BCR Open Romania (Bucuresti). I think it is obvious that i will choose to cover the tournament in Romania in more detail.

The seeds are not that well ranked compared to other tournaments, but they are regular players in this tournament, and most of them are clay players, and that is the reason why they came to play in Bucuresti.

I can't really pick a favorite in this tournament. I think that Andrei Pavel will have a good tournament (at least the Quarter finals, because he has shown a good form in the last months, and he always plays well in front of his own fans). Also, Gael Monfils will be a player to watch here, but the problem is that he is currently in the Qualifiers, and now has to play against Alberto Martin (a 0-2 record between them), and if he manages to win, he may be a little tired.

This is not my favorite, but Nicolas Almagro (first seed) is the player i think has the most qualities to win, because he is a clay player, he won a tournament this year in Valencia (ESP) and he has a 23-12 record on clay this year, given the fact that he did have some bad luck in the draws.

That is all for today, log in tomorrow for the latest news and updates regarding the tournament in Romania.
