Fernando Verdasco: Runner-up in Estoril

After winning San Jose earlier this year, Fernando Verdasco (#15) gets to his second final of the year here in Estoril, only to lose in the final against the resurgent Juan Martin Del Potro.  This should be good practice for him in this clay season which has largely been dominated by compatriot Rafael Nadal.   This was his path to the finals -

F - lost to Juan Martin Del Potro (ARG) (#46) 26 26
SF - Milos Raonic (CAN) (#27) 64 Retd.
QF - Kevin Anderson (RSA) (#34) 67(2) 62 63
2R - Frederico Gil (POR) (#62) 61 76(5)
1R - Bye
