This match up is dead even... I feel the slightest advantage is Erik/Leke... that comes from the difference between the 2 backcourters. I felt that Erik was better than Aritz when they were both playing @ Miami along with Goiko, Lopez, Irastorza.... But Goiko was the best player over all.
But Erik when he joined the meet was constantly better than Aritz!! The backcourters are where the edge is made.... Gorka was an up and coming young player, who was progressing with everyday he plays... But he wasn't even the best youngster playing there... That was the young player Aritz who was moving to the late games and winning at a very good pace !! Him and Leke in the late games were some pretty intense backcourt battles !!
Therefore My pick is Erik/Leke.... the difference between Goiko and Erik is not big enough to out weight the difference between Gorka and Leke !! It will be a good match... either close the entire match.... or a complete Route !! That all depends on who loses the will to win first !!
To my frame of mind, there are too many players who give up too easy.... A little adversity and lose a few points.... and they throw crazy impossible shots !!! and a blow out happens !!
