Garin Tames Dellien in Opener
More known for his exploits in clay court competitions, Garin looked to have improved greatly on the hardcourt surface as well this season. With a fourth round appearance in the Indian Wells Open and third round in Miami, both as a qualifier, Garin would have entered the clay court swing with supreme confidence.
And that showed in his opening round encounter here against Hugo Dellien as he routed his opponent in straight sets.
In a match lasting a mere 64 minutes, Garin was a 6-3, 6-0 winner with the world number 74 facing not a single break-point in the match. He broke Dellien five times in return.
With a first serve win percentage of 94%, Garin looked like he was in the form of his life – the kind that had helped him climb to world number 17 at one stage in his career. Can he continue to build on this purple patch?

Bergs Enters as a Lucky, Lucky Loser
There are lucky losers and then there are those who are the lucky, lucky losers in tennis.
The latter are those who don’t just make it through to the main draw despite losing in the qualifying rounds but also make a direct entry into the second round because the seeded player who had a bye from his first round had to withdraw late from the tournament.
Bergs has had that fortune here.
After having overcome Zachary Svajda in the first qualifier he had lost to Aleksandar Vukic in the second but by the dint of good fortune here he is, playing in the second round against Garin.
He enters this match on the back of a mere one clay court win in his career. And four across all surfaces. No wonder then Bergs is a distant 11/5 to upset the Garin apple-cart.
