Bellucci played very good tennis to reach the final of Geneva but I feel he is not so impressive as many people make him out to be. He lost two sets, Baghdatis and Ramos. He beat Giraldo easy in semifinals 63 64.
Bellucci is a player that goes all in on his shots so is very easy for him to lose his momentum.
It will be tough against Sousa who showed incredible fighting spirit this week ... came back from 6-2 in 3rd set tiebreak vs Andujar .. came back to win vs Delbonis in semis (who beat Wawrinka).
This final is more balanced than it looks and Sousa with such fighting spirit can take Bellucci out of his moment and get an unexpected victory in Geneva. Bellucci was not super impressive (if he was, maybe I think twice for this bet).
After all Sousa is the player who is more stable and consistent and this style it usually wins vs. talented but inconsistent players like Bellucci. If Sousa played like he did when he comes back vs. Andujar or Delbonis, he wins the match.
