Carlos Berlocq has been climbing the rankings steadily over the past year, and he’s currently positioned just outside of the top fifty. He’ll be hoping to build upon this, and make the most of his recent form. He’ll begin this year’s ATP Vina Del Mar Open with a first round showdown against Spain’s Daniel Gimeno-Traver, and will be attempting to get off to a steady start.

Gimeno-Traver is a solid opponent, but Berlocq should have enough about him to win this clash. The Argentine has often floundered at ATP World Tour level, but perhaps at the age of 29 he’s ready to play like he’s got nothing to lose. With the tour heading to clay courts for the next few months, a career high ranking should be on the cards for Berlocq.

Berlocq’s position as the favourite is bolstered by the fact that he’s won all three of his previous matchups against the Spaniard. On two occasions Gimeno-Traver took a set off of him though, so this matchup might not be a straightforward one.
