8/11 Juan Ignacio Chela v Potito Starace Evens
4/9 Juan Carlos Ferrero v Andreas Seppi 13/8
It’s all been fairly comfortable for Chela so far, who easily beat Nikolay Davydenko to make it to this semi-final. Chela also had the luxury of just playing one match yesterday, where as rain delays meant Starace had to complete two wins over Bjorn Phau and Ivan Ljubicic. Starace is really playing well at the moment, but in a close match, the fact that Chela should be slightly fresher gives him the edge. He’s 8/11 with Bet 365 to make the final.
Italian Seppi is on a real hot-streak. After making the semi-finals in Hamburg last week, he’s back in the last four this time round. Seppi has a good record against Ferrero too, winning two of their three meetings. If Ferrero is off his best game – and that happens a little more than it used to, Seppi has a genuine chance to take advantage. Ferrero reached the final here last year and has important points to defend though. A 3 set win for Ferrero is a very tempting 11/4 with Bet 365
