Delic admitted that he has no confidence and is not capable of playing on hard court following the defeat to Dodig in Zagreb last week. His style is not cut out for these conditions and he recorded a total of three wins indoors. Conditions in Bergamo are even faster than in Zagreb, but Delic said he will force hard court tournaments to make some improvement there. Petzschner has almost 150 wins indoors but physically isn't capable of tying more than three matches, which is why he retired in Hong Kong. I don't know if he's fit and ready now or struggling with some problems, but he had enough time to rest and probably wouldn't be here if there were any injury-struggles. Especially because he's using protected ranking, which does run out, here. He would not play this week if not read. And if he is ready, this is a good bet. Dodig drove Delic crazy by coming on the net and the German does it even better. We have a case of an opponent not comfortable in these conditions and the other one who will be able to take advantage of it. Delic will clearly use this just to gain some experience since he has not game or confidence or these conditions. Confidence might not be German's strong suit either, but he should take advantage of other things. I went with the option where forfeit is void since I think that will happen if he's in pain.
