First tournaments of the year and we are in Doha, where many good players came to play, but unfortunetly this year we won't see players like Nadal or Djoko, Stan, Kei because of injuries.
Anyway we have two interesting players, both tall, both with strongs hits. Tomas Berdych and Lenard Struff.
Tomas Berdych (ATP 19) - One of almost great players, Czhech player was in top10 for long time, but still he never won a GrandSlam title, he often played against Djoko, Rafa, Roger in Semis or just late rounds, but he just couldn't win. Tall player have a really good serve, he can play serve and volley, he is fast for his height, he can hit good forehand, play fast around the net, but sometimes Tomas just struggles and demotivate himself to much.
Lenard Struff (ATP 53) - German player, who is not a kid or youngster anymore is trying to find himself in TOP50 or just staying in 100. Lenard is very unstable player, he often goes down in ranking, later he goes up. That often makes him a bad favor, because he starts to play challenger, he looses motivation, and when he makes his comeback on ATP tour he is out of shape.
Still player is very strong, with good serve, strong forehand and he can play many surfaces. Still he have much more minuses than his opponent. Struff doesn't like rallies, he likes just hit winners and that forces him to make many errors.
In the end - Well, in my oppinion Tomas Berdych must make a comeback, he wen't down to far in the ranking, that bad season ended, so he need make a fresh good start. Every year he is playing here, so he will know how to do it. h2h 2-0 in Tomas side.
