The big names in Maspalomas
On clay the tournament in Gran Canaria will have 32 players who will want to stand up for the first time to put their name on the list of winners. No player arrives with a winning streak or very good feelings and a very open tournament is expected. Within this circuit the level is very high and balanced but on this occasion we have the presence of an experienced Dusan Lajovic. The Serbian is struggling not to lose his condition to enter directly into the main draw of the Australian Open and that comes from having a good week in Maspalomas.
It has not been a good second part of the year and that is why it has fallen out of the top 100. Last week he tried it in Valencia but fell at the first exchange with Zekic. Within the surface that has historically been best given to him, having a Masters 1000 final in his power like the one he obtained in Monte Carlo. Therefore, he will have that little pressure of having to do it well. Yannick Hanfmann as the second seed he is another player to consider. He is good at clay, although he may be able to compete on any surface. He knows how to have that patience from the bottom and it will be necessary to take him into account.
Players that we will see with confidence is for example Adrian Andreev that in recent months we have clearly witnessed his evolution and we will already have him as the seed. Kimmer Coppejans Despite not having that condition of great confidence, he can become a dangerous tennis player. The same goes for the Dutch veteran Robin Haase who is capable of the best and the worst.
On the part of the Spanish players, who arrives with the greatest confidence is Paul Flames after having made the semifinals at the Challenger in Valencia. One of them has a guaranteed place in the second round since Oriol Roca and Nikolás Sánchez Izquierdo They will meet in the first round. They could have a good run to reach the quarterfinals and then dream of a great result. Steven Ten It can also be another of the players who can have a good week having a lot of experience in this type of tournament. The last week of the year will give a lot to talk about in Maspalomas.
