Igor Andreev is set to meet Paul Capdeville on Monday in the first round of the ATP Vina Del Mar OpenYou can watch and bet on Andreev v Capdeville live for free at bet365 > live tennisIgor Andreev, a three-time ATP World Tour title winner, will get his campaign started in Vina Del Mar this week with a first round clash against wildcard entrant Paul Capdeville. The Russian is ranked outside of the top hundred at the moment, which for him, at the age of 28, is something that he can definitely improve upon.
It won’t be easy for the world No. 118, as Capdeville should be spurred on by the backing of the home crowd. Capdeville, who has struggled at the top level, will be delighted with the opportunity to enter here without having to qualify. Still, he’s been lumbered with a very tough draw, and though Andreev isn’t seeded, he’s certainly a big threat.
These two competitors have never previously locked horns in an ATP fixture, making this match perhaps a little tougher to predict. Despite this, Andreev seems to have the edge. Home advantage will be useful for Capdeville, and the clay courts are definitely suited to his game. Even so, the wily Russian has the weapons required to get through this challenge unscathed.
