Milos Raonic - Sugita Yuichi

Game preview : Tokyo ATP 500 tournamet in middle phase of event. We are in top 16 best players and at this match we will see home player and one of the elite players. Sugita who is playing superb tennis this year will meet Canadian Raonic Milos.

Let's talk about players :

Milos Raonic (12) : 26 years old player who originaly came from Montenegro now plays for Canada. He is tall, almost 2metres height and 100Kg so that is solid for tower like him. Yes we can say his main factor to win is serve, but no like John Isner, without serve canadian still can play very solid game, he is fast and strong and play really good at the net. In past few years he had many injures and we see now he is sliping away from Top, it's was matter of time when he will drop out of top10, now he need to comeback there. This year his score on hard 14/8 not bad, but he can improve it, but can he reach last year 29/8 ? We don't think so...

Sugita Yuichi (40) - Player from Japan, who is playing very solid tennis this year, he managed to win ATP title and few Challenger titles in this season. We see he improved his game in all ways. Yuichi isn't very tall, but he have good qualities for hard surface without his height. He can hit good serve, good forehand and backhand, he like to play agressive, but he can play good defense on baseline. Most important his quality is his speed, he is very fast and that helps him a lot, he can catch any shot everywhere. Also his brain works really fast, he works fast on hitting balls, finding right position.

What to expect ? We can say first match for Raonic was way to easy, so playing against home player will be very hard for him. Yuichi is fast and strong at this moment, so he will make a lot of problems for Canadian. We expect to see 3 sets.
