In the 1/16 finals of the clay challenger in Portugal, Russian tennis player Ivan Gakhov will play against Italian Luciano Darderi.
Luciano DarderiThe 20-year-old representative of Italy did not play very productively at the clay challenger in Valencia last week.
Darderi only reached the 1/8 finals, where he lost in two sets to Alexey Krutykh from Ukraine – 4:6; 4:6. However, it was Krutykh who won the tournament in Valencia, which slightly negates Luciano's misfire. As a result, Darderi played his last match on November 24.
Ivan GakhovThe 26-year-old Russian tennis player also competed at the challenger in Valencia last week.
Gakhov from the qualification of the tournament reached the 1/8 finals, where he lost in three sets to Adrian Andreev from Bulgaria – 4:6; 6:3; 3:6. This game was also on November 24.
ForecastIn this match, Luciano Darderi is quite rightly considered by the bookmakers to be a fairly clear favorite.
However, Gakhov is quite capable of imposing a good fight on a young Italian. We suggest you to bet more than 20.5 games on the total.
