Florian Mayer - Ricardas Berankis

Liberec ITF, indoors hard
One of the main matches today, particularly in handicap and pure Peru.

The tournament is in Czech Republic and of course the local player, Havlickova Lucie, wants to perform well here. In the beginning of October, she reached the finals in a tournament on the same surface in Czech Republic, where she put up a strong fight against the highly technical Russian Korneeva, with a score of 6:7; 5:7. She has also defeated some decent players on this level of competition, including Vrancken Peeters A., Knutson G., and Pohankova M. So I believe she has what it takes to go far in this tournament as well.
On the other side, we have the 28-year-old French player Tan Harmony, who has some experience, but is slightly lacking in this kind of tournament. However, her gameplay is very favorable, as she does not have a strong serve and relies on her defensive technique, which could be exploited by the physical Czech player. Especially considering that in the previous rounds of this tournament, she has defeated Xu and Podrez, both at home, with a score of 2:0. Simply put, the French player doesn't have much to offer and won't be able to challenge for a set.

On the other hand, 28-year-old French player Tan Harmony is a bit more experienced, but her game style is very favorable in this matchup. She doesn't have a strong serve and relies on technical play and defense, which could be a disadvantage against the physically strong Czech opponent. Especially since in previous tournaments on this surface, she was defeated in the quarterfinals by Xu and Podrez, even though she was playing at home. Simply put, the French player doesn't have much to offer and won't be able to hang on for even one set.
