Safin can stun Robredo
Tommy Robredo seems to have forgotten how to play on hard courts and he could go out to Marat Safin in the second round on Friday, writes Simon Cambers.
The Spaniard has been beaten early in every hard-court event this year and Safin should have too much in his bag.
The Russian came through a five-setter in round one, but reached the semis at Wimbledon and obviously has the talent, so take him to win at 11/10.
