Zukas - Marcondes. Sao Paolo challenger, Brazil. 1st round, clay

It may be a little personal here, but I just don't like very much 25-year-old Zukas. I don't like his approach and not his game at all. He plays often like without any interest. He let me down in Guayaquil, in match I watched live, when he lost to Torres in a match he should have won. Since then, he has lost in the 1st round with M. Dellien at the same place on the challenger and then SF and QF from the futures. There he lost to Marcondes and most recently to Farjat. Now he played the qualies when he defeated weak dos Santos and then Ribeiro 75.63

The 24-year-old Marcondes also passed the qualies here, but also quite very easily. Castelnuevo retired at 04 in the first set and then he defeated Bogo 61,36,61. The last tournament he played was in SF in Goiana future and he lost to Dutra Silva in 3 sets.

The H2H match played in Goiana, Brazil was won by Marcondes 62.63 in 1h37min. He won 66-45 points, breaks 3 from 5 vs 0 from 3, points on return 27-14. There was a huge difference in points on 1 service - 82% vs 54%

I think Marcondes may have won again, I see no reason why he wouldn't repeat a 3 weeks old win. He was also born in the state of Sao Paolo, so he will definitely have decent support here.
