Meffert vs Olivetti

The German Dominik Meffert lost in first round in Genova last week struggling behind his game, especially serve and forehand, alternating the solid shots with lose errors. Olivo pushed Seppi in three sets but mainly because the Italian lacked rhythm and looked tired on court. The Argentine is a deep standing player who will put a lot of balls back into play, the drop shot is a good weapon against him and Meffert with his powerful and deep shots he should make a good impact here. The Argentine has lost to tough hitters like Velotti, Aguilar, Kovalik, Demoliner, Gawron, Linzer this year and if the German will keep his errors low and will not make easy errors he should advance in straight sets.
