Nalbandian was hited from many injuries last year and also this year,he canceled one ATP tournament.This is going to be his 1st match after waiting to recover about 11 months.This is a chance for Nalbandian to prove that he was the master of clay and also solid top 10 player(his best is 3rd ranked on March 20 2006).In his country he will have lots of crowd cheering and the Italian will have pressure..I dont know how that injury affect Nalbandian game but his style is recognizable as he preffers long rallies and taking every chance to attack..Starace is not a player who can play dangerously as he is returning every shot and waiting for his opponent to mistake but that game style will not be good that much as Nalbandian will be higher motivated.

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..
