Almagro ended up on a surgery after Roland Garros. He was gone for the rest of the season. He was pretty negative with his statements, and mentioned a few times how hard this forced break was for him. He played two exhibition matches, and decided to cancel Doha. He wasn't content, and even mentioned cancelling Australian Open. He's feeling pretty doubtful, no surprise after such a long break. Cuevas, however, managed to get a seed status for the Australian Open after a fantastic season. True, he did it on clay. He didn't play on concrete much because he was focused on his favorite court. We can't say he doesn't know how to play on concrete just because he rarely plays on it. Besides, he's successful in doubles, and plays an offensive tennis more and more. The fact is that in the last two years, he's only got one win on the open concrete. However, last year, he took Anderson to the fifth set in New York. So, he can play. Most importantly, he's rising, he's feeling very self-confident, with a great season behind him, and he's very optimistic. Almagro didn't play a real match since Roland Garros. He's really doubtful, says he's not at 100%, he cancelled last week, and even planned to cancel the whole tour. This is a form check for him, and I expect Cuevas to bite as usual. We should use this situation, and I have to say I expected the Uruguay as a favorite considering all things mentioned here.
