THE PREDICTION

World number 64 Roberto Carballes Baena overcame a tough assault by Nicolas Moreno De Alboran on Friday to maintain an excellent defence of his Marrakech Open title. The 31-year-old fought tooth-and-nail to win his second ATP title here 12 months ago, with each of his last three matches going to three sets, and that puts him in good stead against up-and-coming Pavel Kotov in their first tour-level encounter. World number 68 Kotov got he better of an exhausted Fabio Fognini on Friday to maintain a spotless run to the last four in Marrakech and he is one win away from reaching his second tour final after finishing runner-up to Gael Monfils in Stockholm late last season. RCB beat the Kazakh in three sets at the Madrid Challenger two years ago and his affinity with conditions here in Morrocco should see him edge through again.
