Albert Ramos +120 vs Kei Nishikori in Monte Carlo

Ramos-Vinolas is fresh from the final in Casablanca, and whilst he is arriving late for this tourney, his strong recent form on the surface, and preference for clay courts, in contrast to Nishikori, should see him through to the second round here.

Fabio Fognini +100 vs Michael Llodra at Monte Carlo

Although Llodra defeated Fognini here in the 1st round 2010, the vastly more experienced clay courter should gain revenge this year.

Fognini comes from playing in two clay events in the lead up to this, whilst Llodra will step on the dirt for the first time in 2012.

I expect this line to drop so would get in early.
