I have the American as a slight favourite here, so comfortable stepping into his current price as he takes on Quentin Halys for a spot in the main draw.
Halys was on the bring against Fonio yesterday, after losing the first set 1-6 and being down a double mini break in the second set tiebreak, before surviving and progressing in three sets. Although Halys was very solid at Wimbledon, his clay form this year has left a little to be desired, and I am not sure he warrants favouritism in this match-up in these conditions.
Yes, this tournament is played at altitude in Gstaad, however I don’t think that is a massive negative for Moreno de Alboran. His level through the clay season matches up as a little stronger than Halys in my opinion, including some solid performances in Geneva. He looked solid in the first round of qualifying, defeating Collarini 6-2 6-2 without facing a break point.
Comfortable siding with the American here at the underdog price.
