Prado still undervalued?
The Bolivian Prado was largely underrated in his first round here against lucky loser Neumayer. He’s continuing his run as a complete player who plays correctly and fights hard, even if he doesn’t produce many fireworks. I had followed him in the Roland Garros qualifiers, and it’s true that he’s not easy to beat because he does everything properly. It might be a fairly effective playing style against the Bosnian, who really didn’t have to push himself to win his first round. But he has been confirming a very solid average level for a few matches now, even if as soon as the level rises, he loses once his opponent has gotten used to his crafty Bosnian style of play. Is the Bolivian good enough to get the better of Damir? I don’t think so, not now with odds of 1.50 for the Bosnian. I find that quite well assessed and think it’s better to look more towards game overs.
