Game preview : Cincinnati 2017 (USA) Open ATP event just started and we have a lot of great matches in first round, so many match is hard to choose what to write about. 5,244,930 $ prize fond waits to be sliced in many pieces, at first round players get 17,700 $ and 10 ranking point, for last players in draw and players whom came from qualification it is very good deal. Round by round prizes are getting bigger and winner of this event gets 954,225 $ and 1000 point‘s, it‘s amazing prize. So for today two ex elite players will meet here, they try to comeback to the olympus of Tennis ranking. Tomas Berdych and Juan Martin Del Potro was in top10, but after some problems and injuries they both went down in ranking. Of course we are really glad to see them fight so soon, it is kind of sad, because one good player will loose and leave with only 10 point’s.
Let’s talk about players :
Juan Martin Del Potro (30) – We wrote about him few time’s. He is very talented player, but unfortunate he have very hard career in tennis, many injuries, but less good and happy times for this Tower. Still Juan is very good player, he was in top10, he won many times against players like Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, but then a injurie came and everything was lost, but now he is back again and trying to show so good quality tennis on court, he already is in top 30. 8/6 score on hard this year, but he is improving, slowly but he is on a right road.
Tomas Berdych (15) – We also wrote about him, about how he struggles this season, but now he is going up again, after good Wimbledon, good warm up in Los Cabos he is ready for this tournament. Tomas found him self again in Wimbledon tournament, he showed everyone he can and he will compete with everyone. 12/10 hard score for this year not really good for him, last year he had 24/12, and yet he don‘t have any title in this season , only one final was reached.
Comparing the players : Last score in this event : Juan Semifinal (2013) Tomas R16 (2016). Both players are really tall, with good serves and they use serve really well, both can hit superb forehands and strugle a little bit on backhand. There are a lot of similarities between them, tall, slower, with strong movement and fast shots, serve and volley tactics. Only question who worked harder in last weeks and who is more ready, of course word talent is also main factor here.
What to expect in the match? : Players are similar , they played together 8 time’s before, and each one won 4 times. Matches wasn’t so spectacular, a lot of TB and two sets, each time someone was a little bit better, so I expect in this match it will be same. One of them is ready more and want to win more, so no secret they will try to win it again in two sets.
