This will be Duckworth’s first match after hip surgery, so there are no particular expectations of the Australian’s performance in the upcoming match. We expect an easy win for Francisco Cerundolo.
Cerundolo feels most comfortable on the clay this season. Duckworth is returning to action after a hip operation and we can hardly expect serious results from him in the near future.

Francisco Cerundolo:
Francisco Cerundolo has been doing quite well on the clay this season. He has 16 wins and seven losses so far this year.
In January, he even won the Challenger in Santa Cruz, beating Camilo Hugo Carabelli (6-4, 6-3) in the final. In the recent Italian Open, Francisco was a two-set qualifier but then lost in the first round in two sets to John Isner (4-6, 3-6).
