Three years after they last met, Luciano Darderi and Roberto Carballes Baena will renew their rivalry, this time at the Marrakech Open. The two will face off in the first semi-final, with the winner meeting Tallon Griekspoor or Kamil Majchrzak. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Carballes Baena advanced in straight sets after beating Nuno Borges. He is now two matches away from being the first player to win two Marrakech titles.

Having arrived in Morocco on a losing record, Carballes Baena has now leveled his run at 9-9. Clay is his preferred surface and the Spaniard will also be banking on his perfect run against Darderi. He is yet to drop a set so far.

Darderi will be meeting Carballes Baena outside Spain for the first time. He will hope this charms his way to a first win against the Spaniard. The meetings in Seville and Gran Canaria were both on clay and Darderi lost in straight sets.

After wins against Tristan Boyer, Hugo Gaston and Vit Kopriva here in Marrakech, the Italian will feel ready to spur with Carballes Baena again.

He has only dropped one set and wouldn’t mind doing so again if only he can get a measure of revenge here. In his last eight matches, Darderi managed seven wins. Like Carballes Baena, he is also on a 9-9 record for the season.
