After eclipsing the heavy favorite in Carlos Taberner yesterday, Alexey Vatutin’s dominant victory ushers him into his upcoming match against Pedro Cachin, who will face a similar set of understated disadvantages. Both being clay-court specialists, Cachin and Taberner will have to adjust to faster tempo of play that comes with an indoor hard-court. Their experience and style may actively work against them being out of their element in this tournament.
