Game prievew : Welcome to Orleans challenger tournament, a fun tournament to watch and nice prizes for players to win. 127,000 Euros prize fond and 125 ranking point's for winner. This event is in France and year by year he is growing up and atracting more and more good players. In this match we have two interesting players, players from out top100.

Let's talk about players :

Ričardas Berankis (164) - 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 lucky tournament in Russia he came here to collect more points.

Mirza Basič (188) - Player from Bosnia and Hercogovina is really tall with strong serve and fast hits from forehand. Mirza never was in top100 and now he is going away from this goal to be in top 100. Why tall player is strugling is hard to say, but this year he have 22/20 win/lose balance. 115/71 indoors balance in his career.

What to expect in this match : Well, players are totally different - Height, weight and style. Lithuanian is really fast, good at fast tennis, Mirza is much slower but he is good at the net, he can aproach net smart, not like Richard who always struggle with it. Anyway they are different players and already met 5 times before, almost all matches went with over 22 game's so for today they both can do it again.

Thanks for review again Brexit

Game preview : Welcome to China, we will see a lot of action here. Mainly in China and Japan events we have last hard surfaces stop. Many tournaments every week, some times two or more tournaments per week. What we see ? Fast surfaces, a lot of good hits and big prizes. In this match we will see a St. Petersburg trophy winner Damir Dzumhur and Australian Jonh Millman.

Let's talk about players :

Damir Dzumhur (40) - 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 40 in rankings for first time in his career.. This year 14/11 on hard, players 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.

John Millman (190) - Australian player, who played really well few years ago, he have a great serve, very fast forehand and he is very athletic and quick on court. Why he went down in rankings again? We can't answer that, but he is good player, he can be in top 100 for sure. 203/113 hard surface balance in his career, good numbers, we know he can play well.

What to expect? : Well, we see one way. Damir will be tired, but he will try to continue his good run and probably will play with a lot motivation and fire in his eyes, still he is tired and how much energy he have left nobody knows. He will try play succesfully but how often it goes its not so easy to play well again after winning a trohpy. John will play this game, he knows his opponent is tired, so he will try to make opponent run a lot and waste his energy.

Two good reviews, very impressive

Game preview : Welcome back to China, we will see a R16 fights. Mainly fast surface in China always gives us fast fights with not so many overs. Still rich tournaments atracts many players. In this match we will see a St. Petersburg trophy winner Damir Dzumhur and Slovakian Lukas Lacko

Let's talk about players :

Damir Dzumhur (40) - 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 40 in rankings for first time in his career.. This year 15/11 score on 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. Now he is in good shape after trophy.

Lacko Lukas (118) - Almost 5 years older player from Slovakia, whom had promising career when he was younger, a very talented guy, but unfortunate for Slovakia and him something in his career went wrong and from promising player he became a simple challenger player. The highest point in Lukas career was when he reached 44 ranking spot, but now he is only 118. In other hand player from slovakia plays well on challenger level, often he reaches a finals, semifinals, but sometimes he even plays good on big tournaments like Wimbledon, in 2015 and 2016 he reached 3 round. As a player he can be very good, but sometimes something goes wrong and he starts to loose his point's in every tournament. Anyway this year he have 16/8 record on hard, once more it is promising result.

What to expect ? If in first match Damir had some struggle, so in the second match he will struggle even more. Lukas is playing simillar game to last Damir opponent, but Slovakian is much more agressive, he is in better shape and just plays better. So we can say tired Damir going to have some problems.

I waiting for this match, it looks interesting in many ways

Strange... Lačko didnt play well at all

Anything for today?

Game prieview : Semi final round in Shenzen ATP 250 tournament. Another week is coming to its end and tournament almost reached highest spot. In this semi final match we have Damir Dzumhur and Aleksandr Dolgopolov. We wrote a lot about Damir, he is in best shape so far.

Let's talk about players :

Damir Dzumhur (40) - 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 40 in rankings for first time in his career.. This year 17/11 score on 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. Now he is in good shape after trophy and reached a SF in another tournament.

Aleksandr Dolgopolov (53) - Player from Ukraine is very talented guy, but in many ways he is rigged and have not the perfect motivation and thinking about sports. Sasha is very fast, with super serve, strong shots and good physic state, but its all about his mind, sometimes its just not work like its need to be working. Ukrainian player mostly like to play on clay courts, he is very succesful there, but he can play good on fast surfaces too. 12/10 hard surface score this year.

What to expect in this match? : Damir Dzumhur just won against Alex Zverev in two set's its amazing, but can he still play good like now? Its hard to say, he can win again 2-0 or completly lose his match in 2-0. Dolgopolov is great guy and play, he can easily destroy Damir dreams, but he also can give up very easy.

Cmon Damir must be tired already

Cmon Damir must be tired already

How interesting Beijing WTA have started on saturtday

Not ussual for sure..

Game preview : Tokyo Open ATP500 tournament great us all here. We have good prizes (1,706,175 $ prize fond), good players, good hard courts and many activities. Asia tour is on fire now, we had some tournaments already, now we are in the middle of asia tour.

Let's talk about players :

Tsitsipas Stefanos (117) - Youngster from Greece is in the highest ranking spot of his life, but little by little he is still going up. Tall player with great serve, great thinking and talent can play very well, still he need to improve, youngster style of tennis won't be successful all the time. 11/6 w/l record on hard surface this year, nothing impressive yet, he reached only one SF in challenger, but it's not his surface, if we look at other results, Stefanos is very succesull on clay courts. He came to main draw after beating Q round.

Marin Cilic (5) : 28 years old, 195cm and 79kg very solid numbers for this guy, to play very good tennis on grass, clay or hard. Why he is so successful on tennis ? Answer is simple, he is big, strong, but still very fast and have great intelligence of tennis, of course he is not no.1, but he is working to get there, always trying to do his best, its hard to get there because of great players like Andy Murray, Novak Djokovič of course his opponent in final Roger Federer. Hard statistics is not good for croatian 6/6 , but he still can improve it.

What to expect ? : Well, we can say Marin didn't play long time in ATP tour, but he played Davis and Laver cup so he can be in quite good shape, but youngster from greece keep getting better and better, he played two matches here already so he can be ready for this match in all ways, we guess he will compete at good level in this match,

Good mtach, stefanos is playing quite good

Any advice on asia tour?

Game preview : Tokyo Open R16 welcomes us back this year. Very impressive tournament, nice fans, good palyers and good quality of tennis. ATP500 tournament have a nice prizes and much points for players. In this round and match we will have two interesting players Adrian Manarino and Jiri Vesely.

Let's talk about players :

Adrian Mannarino (31) : Frenchman is older player, maybe not so talented like everybody else, but he plays very nice tennis at this momment. What matters now? Well, they both played few matches before this match. Adrian is good player on hard surface or grass. 20/10 score on hard, so he will improve a little for sure, few good hard surface events is in the future. Adrian can serve a good serve, he like to hit fast shots and play fast tennis, while Vesely loves slower courts it's a big difference between them.

Jiri Vesely (62) - Player from Czhech republic mostly is playing on clay events, but he can play good on hard too. Jiri is very tall with superb serve and strong tennis style, but on the other hand he is not so fast, he often struggles with fast players with fast balls, thats why he prefer clay courts. This year hard surface record 7/9 not so good, but if we look on his clay record 20/10 we will see he can play good. Talented Czhech player can play really well at the net and serve and volley.

What to expect in this match : Well, we can say two different players, with different style of tennis can play very interesting match today. In our oppinion they will make game's over in this match.

This time my review was not quite right

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.
