[Tennis- ATP Valencia] 21.11/ 13:00 S.Nagal- A.Moro Canas
Today, I'll pick the top ranked Indian player Nagal to beat his Spanish opponent Moro Canas in the first round of the Valencia Clay Challenger. Nagal is coming off of a run to the final in Helsinki on indoor hard court, which was a surprise as it is not his preferred surface at all. Nagal mostly plays clay tournaments throughout the year and has been successful this year, winning 2 challenger clay events along with a final(his most recent clay tournament), a semi, and a quarterfinals. Nagal has climbed from outside the top 500 at the start of the season after an injury to all the way up to 140. A strong run in the last 2 weeks in the season could help him climb to a career high ranking and potential seeding in the Australian Open qualifiers. His opponent, Moro Canas, is ranked 100 places below him and is coming off of a loss in the final round of Qualifiers to the world number 405. He has only gotten into the main draw as a lucky loser and in his last 11 matches in clay challenger events, he has only gone 4-7. He has reached 2 semi finals on clay in the Challenger Tour this season, but has not achieved the level of success that Nagal has on the surface. While Moro Canas will have home advantage, I don't think he will have the ability to best Nagal.
