Last year’s winner, Nicolas Almagro, is notably absent from the field, so we’ll see a new champion crowned in 2012.
Amongst those vying for the title will be Gilles Simon, Fernando Verdasco, Juan Ignacio Chela, Thomaz Bellucci, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Tommy Robredo, David Nalbandian and Albert Montanes. Simon, as the world No. 12, will be the top seed. He’s never previously taken part in this competition and it will be fascinating to see if he can live up to his billing.
Chela and Bellucci in particular look like major contenders. Chela is a two-time semi-finalist here, and he’s got every reason to be pleased with his recent form and ascension of the rankings. Bellucci, meanwhile, was a runner-up in 2009, and could go the distance with the backing of the home crowd.
