16th seed Gaston Gaudio of Argentina squares up to qualifier Irakli Labaze of Georgia this afternoon. Gaudio is on the back of a good win yesterday against Frenchman, Faurel. He also had a not bad Roland Garros tournament, where he eventually went out to Davidenko in the last 16. He also got to the semi final of the Masters Series in Monte Carlo, only to be put out by Nadal, beating Acasuso, Henman, and Delgado along the way.
Labadze had a good win yesterday, but it was also a long one and he'll be tired today.
Recently he hasn't been playing many matches at all, and also his match-fitness comes into question.
...But, the last time these two met eachother, Labadze took it in straight sets. However, that was 2 years ago! Their only other previous meeting was back in 2002, and Gaudio took it 3-1 in sets.
So, they're evenly balanced at 1-1 between them, expect the Argie to take the lead today.
Hurry, the odds are changing on this one a lot at the moment.
