Having defeated Juan Manuel Cerundolo during the previous round, Luciano Darderi will take on Francisco Cerundolo, who is Juan Manuel's brother. The Italian looked in fine shape during the previous round, winning in straight sets, though beating the older of the two Argentines will not be as easy. These two players have played each other several times on clay and they often battle it out in entertaining fashion. The crowd in Madrid will be hoping for simialr this time around.
Neither player has made a habit of losing in straight sets recently, while they have a history of sharing three sets. Ultimately, with this being between two closely matched players, don't be surprised to see a long, hard-fought contest, one that goes the distance, so much so that 'Over 2.5 Sets' looks like a smart move at odds of +140.

Our Francisco Cerundolo vs Luciano Darderi Prediction
As the rankings suggest, with Cerundolo ranked at 20 and Darderi ranked at 22, there's not much between these two. Both can be very effective clay-court players, while both took to the conditons well during the first round. Therefore, it's a little easier to assume that three sets will be played than early odds of +140 would have us believe.
After all, the pair aren't exactly strangers to going the distance against each other, with two of their last three clay-court matches containing three sets.
Our Francisco Cerundolo vs Luciano Darderi Pick: Over 2.5 Sets.
