ATP - Nicolas Almagro v Nicolas Almagro

NICOLAS ALMAGRO - SAM WARBURG

23 years old Spaniard proved that he is ready and healed up with beating playing good tennis Frank Dancevic. Almagro serve was just awesome. Many aces, none breaks and for whole 3 sets Nicolas hold good concentration. Almagro is the one of clay courters that should play good also on fast surfaces. Great serve, nice movement on court and skills from clay game is already enough to be dangerous on hard. Almagro always had big problems with his mentality, he like to loss already won points and some time his acting is just unnatural. But against Dancevic I couldn't believe how mature Nicolas was. Maybe this injury changed him a little. I know it is only one match, but Dancevic wasn't playing bag, I would even say he was playing better than his normal style. Almagro stayed calm, focused and for whole 3 sets didn't show anything of psyche weakness. If he will play like this today I have no worries about the result, because Sam Warburg is a little weaker opponent that current no. 1 in Canada. Warburg lately was losing to players like Bogomolov, Vemis or Peya which aren't top class to be honest. In first round he luckily meet Tipsarevic who retired in tour before US Open and as we saw he didn't cured this and had to retire after first set. Even if hard is Warburg favourite surface Almagro is so much better skilled player that we can't use that argument for Sam's side. Of course in Wimbledon Almagro disappointed, when after first round he lost 2:3 to Garcia-Lopez, but I think hard is a little better to fit Almagro preferences of play, a besides I really liked his game in first round. Stay focused, Nicolas, stay focused...
