Berlocq looks the selection here. If over his calf problem that forced him to retire against Lopez last week in Houston, should have the beating of Starace. Inferior 5-2 head-to-head record but last 2 won by Berlocq (the last of Starace's wins was back in June 2010, whereas Berlocq has beaten Starace twice in February this year, both clay)
Berlocq never played Monte-Carlo before and Starace only has one win here to his name and that was against Mahut who is no world beater on the red stuff
