Monteiro, Thiago - Lestienne, Constant

Monteiro 69 ATP vs Lestienne 65 ATP in the first round. The Frenchman Lestienne looks very good both last year and this year, and although this year he had 2 defeats, but 1 of them was against Djoko, and the other was simply a retirement, and the defeated tennis players were really of a good level. After recovering, Lestienne just jumped up the ATP rankings and last year on hard court he won 43 matches and lost 17. Lestienne is definitely my favorite and although he didn't play against Gasquet I think it was just because of rest. Monteiro is a clay player and here he actually plays 80-70% of all his matches, and on the hard court he actually ends up with a minus number of wins and losses every year. On clay, I have to take Monteiro, but Lestienne, who is hard and still in good form, must win here, and I think such a odds is worthy of attention
