Vacation has been longer this year. This week's offer was not very tempting, but for the sake of it, I have ended up betting on the match between Albert Montanes(#50) and Rui Machado (#80).
Albert Montanes' record on clay in 2011 is 20 W/ 13L, while Rui Machado has a record of 33W/19L. The major difference though is the competitions they have been playing. Montanes was more present in ATP level tours, and in his last participation in Kitzbuhel he reached the finals beating higher ranked players (Kohlschreiber, Giraldo, Chela).
Rui Machado has been focusing on Challenger level tournaments, with his best performance being the win at the Marrakech Challenger against Maxime Teixeira (#158).
Prediction: Albert Montanes to win @1.44 (4/5) - bet365.
