Abu Dhabi greats with start of the new tennis season. We have two interesting players from totally different playing style and age. Many differences can help both players today and especially in this exhibition match.
Let's start talk about players :
Andrey Rublev (39) - Youngster from Russia, who had a miracoulous season in 2017, he won challenger events, he reached quater final at Us Open where he played against Rafael Nadal. Also player played in next gen finals, but in the final he lost to his opponent.
Russian can play really well, but at the same time he need to improve a lot, he is not stable, he is lack of motivation and calmness.
Good side of him is his athletic style, he can run fast, he have many good shots, good serve and he is talented.
Roberto Bautista Agut (20) - Spanish player which is very hard working and always trying to improve and do his best. For now player is in top20, but of course he can do better and he is very dangerous. Player from spain not a simple player, he is not clay type player, he like to play tennis on all courts, he is good on grass, hard.
Mostly Roberto plays calm and with his strategy, he knows his opponents well, of course he always ready and in best shape he can get, start of season is not problem for him.
Disatvanges of player are very small... He doesn't have great serve and his hits are weaker, but that doens't stop him.
In the end - I think is very simple, start of the season, one or other can be not in the best shape and struggle to much, so match will end in Under. Bautista is older and knows how to play, while youngster Andrey can make to many mistakes.
It so great to have your reviews again!

Second Match of the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament, where a star Novak Djokovič will make his comeback after not playing for six months.. His opponent Roberto Bautista Agut from spain who only won one match against Serbian.
h2h 1-6 Novak Djokovič have the lead.
Novak Djokovič (ATP 12) - Even without playing for six month, not holding a racket for 4 months he is still in 12 position of the ranking, but all his points will be in dangerous at first half of season, he made a lot there. So Novak had a big injury and couldn't go without operation, so long recovery process could make a lot of problems for him, even in his mind.
Novak Djokovič still can be no.1 he is one of the best players in the world, he have won more thant 25 matches in a row, he was no.1 for long time, he is superb player.
He is very athletic, he is like GUM, so flexible, fast, with good technique and very good aim.
Roberto Bautista Agut (20) - Spanish player which is very hard working and always trying to improve and do his best. For now player is in top20, but of course he can do better and he is very dangerous.

Disatvanges of player are very small... He doesn't have great serve and his hits are weaker, but that doens't stop him.
In the end - Well, both players are totally different, with different tactics, but one thing is the same, they both is ready for opponent, they always prepare and have good strategy, both players analyzes opponents. With physical differences we can say a lot, but now its all about mind games and who is more ready for the season.

Final in Abu Dhabi, where for first time not a top10 players will meet. With injured Djokovic, Wawrinka, Murray and Nadal, there was no one to play and make good resistance for Bautista in Semis, while Kevin Anderson played two hard matches.
Let's talk about players :
Kevin Anderson (ATP 14) - Player from RSA the one and only for now, there is no better players so far in RSA and it may never be, because infrastracture is really bad, we have no tournaments there. Still Kevin plays really good, after all hard years and injuries he made his comeback and now he is in top14 place.
Kevin mostly likes to play serve type of tennis, he is tall and have good serve, so it helps a lot him, he is not bad at baselline, he have some strategys and use them all. But if we talk about speed and fast points that really Bautista special thing.
Roberto Bautista Agut (20) - Spanish player which is very hard working and always trying to improve and do his best. For now player is in top20, but of course he can do better and he is very dangerous. Player from spain not a simple player, he is not clay type player, he like to play tennis on all courts, he is good on grass, hard.

Disatvanges of player are very small... He doesn't have great serve and his hits are weaker, but that doens't stop him.
In the end - Both guys played here against good tennis players, they warmed up and now they are in final. Kevin is tall player so he can keep up with his strong, powerful game against short Bautista. On the other hand Agut is really fast and knows his opponent wel, so they both have advantages and distvantages. Short and tall players often makes over.

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.
