Two shaky players are facing each other in 1st round,both with some motivations.Garcia Lopez hasn`t won yet in 2010 but he is looking for his 1st win against mediocre player who is 91 place behind on ATP.The Spaniard cannot miss this chance with Ilhan who played already two matches in Roterdam-qualifications so he may be a little tired.Garcia Lopez has bigger experience and also bigger experience on indoors surface but he is facing problems on this surface,he is only 22-45..Ilhan is on positive score,winning 29th and losing 18th matches but I shouldn`t mention the difference between ATP Tournaments and futures or challengers :)..The Spaniard has solid serve,two handed backhand and good movement skills from which he could have advantage..The bookies are underrating Garcia Lopez because he is not in form but if he was he can`t have bigger odds than 1.45 against Ilhan..It`s looking like a sure win for me..

Croatian Ljubicic is 'old fox'!His performances are not like some years ago but still he has a brand for his name.His returning skills are same like in his best days but his movement skills are not the same.His bravery is his best attribute.Both players are playing defensive style with long rallies but Ljubicic has better nerves than his opponent Benneteau who wants to finish the point faster.Also the serve should be advantage for Ljubicic as he use tehnical serve with a lot of spin.The forehand is not a big advantage for both but I rather the Frencham better..Ljubicic has nerves for this kind of opponents who dont pretend to play attacking style and who didn`t have big serve..H2H is 4-1 for Ljubicic..
