ATP Moscow final with two simillar players Damir Dzumhur from Bosnia and Hercogovina and Richard Berankis from Lithuania. They have a lot of same things in career, still Damir made more progressive run this year and reached higher ranking. Winner will get 156,460 $ and 250 ranking points, while finalist will be leaving with 82,405 $ and 150 ranking points.
Damir Dzumhur (38 ) - Player from Bosnia And Hercogovina, not tall, not with significant moves, no superb serve, but player still tries hard as he can, and what we see now? he is 38 in rankings for first time in his career and he just can't stop winning. This year 11/2 score on indoor hard, player isn't great hard court specialist, but he can be proud, he won against T.Berdych, Rafael Nadal and other great players. Damir likes to run a lot, hit very nice shots, he is very fast, but still he prefers slower courts, where he can do a lot more. He won St. Petersburg now he is back in Russia again and he will play one more final in the singles.
Ričardas Berankis (169) - Lithuanian player, who mostly plays on hard courts and inside courts. Few past years was really diffucult for him, he was diagnosed with ashtma, also that effected his tennis life and his shape, after that he had a surgery for his back. He lost many matches in past with no real competition, he was devastated. Anyway this year he is playing much better, he won one challenger title, made one final in other challenger. Ričardas is short player, but he have a very solid serve, he is also very fast and real figher. After long journey he came back to Russia, where he made one of the biggest win in his career few years ago and now he can even take trophy home. 7/3 on indoors courts this year.
In the end : They already met 4 times and all matches end with under and someone winning in 2 sets. Last year they played against each other two tournaments in a row, so both matches had ended in two sets.
