Stockholm Open

Juan Martin Del Potro was the only player to take a set off of Roger Federer as the classy Swiss won the Shanghai Masters – beating Rafael Nadal 6-4 6-3 in the final – and the resurgent Argentinian has a great chance of winning the weaker Stockholm Open.

Grigor Dimitrov is the number one seed and was a 7-6 7-5 victor over Del Potro when they met in the last 16 in Beijing recently.

However, Del Potro has a 5-2 head-to-head advantage over Dimitrov and is playing well enough to come through a tricky potential semi-final against US Open finalist Kevin Anderson.

Recommendation
J M Del Potro
2pts 7-2 Betfred
