£80 on Lopez to beat Kubot at 1.5

Madrid is played at high altitude. This should be an advantage to Lopez with his powerful awkward serve. Kubot is a player in my opinion that can have good results as seen with some great vicories such as the one a poorly conditioned roddick and his run to the final in Brazil. However he was badly defeated in the final and his form has dropped off badly since. He has yet to impress in European clay and his only victory in last four tournies was clement and that includes one game in match vs starace. I never like backing lopez at odds on as he is poor mentally but he is usually consitent beating players he should on clay, only losing when odds against in a tourni on clayin the last year. Further Kubot has a poor career career record vs lefties 16-24 although he is 6-2 in last 8, losing the 6 before that. Overall he is a solid selection based on stats and current form.
