Nalbandian vs Outright Winner

As I already said in some of preview from ATP Belgrade, it will be very weak competition in Belgrade in this season. There is no world no.1 Novak Djokovic, other best Serbian players Janko Tipsarevic and Viktor Troicki also decided not to play this year, there are also only few well known names but even they are far from top class, while there are many who are barely in top 100, some of them even out of top 100.

 

So, knowing all this I think that David Nalbandian is without doubt player who should win trophy here without too much trouble. He likes playing on clay court and he already had success on this surface in this season (Final in Buenos Aires). He was also in good form on recent Davis Cup, although lost match from Cilic.

 

The main competitors Nalbandian will have in faces of Andujar, Nieminen, Fognini as well Seppi and Kubot who traditionally have good results in Belgrade. But still it is clear that all of these players are not class of David Nalbandian.
