ATP - Filippo Volandri v Guillermo Coria

In my eyes this is very interesting match-up. If these had been played in 2005, then odds would be absolutely different, but unfortunately Coria didn't play any single match in last season due his back injury, that caused a lot double faults. So Guille practiced very hard last couple of months for this South America tour. Start wasn't as good as He expected - first round loss in three sets to red hot Cuevas, who reached semis beating Chucho, Nando and took a set from Gonzo. So I believe nothing much to blame Coria for that. Here in first round he beat mediocre clay courter Aldi in straight sets. If scoreline was pretty much ok, then game not really. Coria had serious problems with double faults again especially in second set, when He was broken five times and served 12 df's. However I believe It wasn't injury, but mental problem, because It's understandable that You are very nervous after missing matches more than one year. Now opponent is much harder - very solid dirt baller Volandri. Even I have some respect on Pippo, I would never trust him at these conditions - He is clear favorite, playing behind crowd that support opponent very loud and make You under pressure + Coria isn't much worse when He play his best. There was similar accident last year, when Volandri faced home idol Kuerten. And even with very mediocre Guga's performance Pippo managed to lost that match. And now Coria - hmm I really see tight match here and if Guille can solve his double fault problems I give edge for him. I believe odds will drop here.
