Robredo loses: Everyone else takes a deep sigh of relief

Acapulco ATP 500

Top Seeds:

1. Nalbandian <- is anyone suprised?
2. Monfils
3. Robredo
4. Almagro
5. Acasuso

6. Montanes
7. Granollers
8. Moya



My pick: Tommy "en fuego" Robredo
Underdog Pick: Everyone other than Robredo... but if I had to pick I'd go Bellucci



Results:



Almagro d. Vassallo-Arguello 6-4 6-4



Acasuso d. Robredo 7-5 6-2 <-- suprising result, well done Acasuso

To take out the guy who has won the last two consecutive clay court ATP events in straight sets 5 and 2 is quite a feat. Credit where it is due, Acasuso should get some sort of knock out bounty bonus to his pay check this week!

Monfils d. Acasuso 6-3 6-4



Finals:



Monfils vs. Almagro



Going to be an interesting final. I'd have to pick Almagro but he has a little bit of underachieving in him. Monfils leads the head-to-head series 2-1 and won the last two meetings BUT both were on hard courts and there is a massive difference in the way these guys play on clay and hard... and I'm going to take what I deam to be an underdog pick in Almagro to win.



Should be a great match to watch, enjoy!

That picture of Monfils doing the splits is insane. It would be crazy if that was a posed picture in a studio, but if he really did that in a match, #)&$)@#*. I have no words.

^^ Although watching Monfils play, it seems like he almost enjoys doing acrobatics and slides on the court. -CheesePotatoes
