German Tennis Championships: Players to watch out for

TENNIS-GBR-WIMBLEDON

3) Nicolas Almagro

TENNIS-GBR-WIMBLEDON

The Spaniard has not had a great year so far, failing to capture a single title, resulting in his singles ranking dropping down to number 16. But Almagro’s game is suited to clay and no player can take him lightly in this tournament.

The Spaniard could be up against a very tough opponent in the 3rd round in the form of Russian Mikhail Youzhny. Almagro has never beaten the Russian in the five occasions they have met, and would have a tough task on his hands in the round of 16.

If he manages to break his losing streak to the Russian, Almagro could face a quarterfinal against defending champion Argentine Juan Monaco or rising Frenchman Benoit Paire.

All in all, it appears that the Spaniard will have to play out of his skin if he has to reach the business end of the tournament.
