This promises to be one of the most exciting clashes of the first round, with both players being capable of making a lengthy run here. Zeballos will perhaps be the favourite, given his aptitude on the red dirt, and his familiarity with the South American climate.
Ungur, of Romania, poses a notable threat. 2011 was a fairly successful year for him, and he’s nearly completed his gradual climb towards the top hundred. At the age of 27, Ungur appears to have peaked later than a lot of players. The recent improvements to his game are beneficial to not just his chances, but the chances of the Romanian Davis Cup team this season.
Zeballos, a lefty, possesses a good deal of trickery, and he should just about clinch victory here. Ungur will run him close at the very least though. He’s got a deft touch, and he’s particularly good at putting points away when he rushes the net. If he can make this count and pull of a minor upset, he’ll be another step closer to a career-high ranking.
