Fernando Verdasco - Lorenzi Paolo

13:35, Doha, 1. round, hard.

First round in UAE, but spanish player F. Verdasco will feel like home, he is living near by, so he used to the contidions, he knows weather, courts and how to play. All december he practiced very well, i saw many times him in gym, on the court with Murray.

He will be ready 90%.

Paolo Lorenzi his oponnent who came here like LL, but that won't make any difference, italian like to play clay type tennis, he uses long rallies, different shots, but he is lack of strenght and powerful hits. I think he wont be able to compete on high level with spaniard.
