ATP/WTA Match discussions

Almost all matches will be played tomorrow

I will write a new review today

Moscow ATP/WTA tournament, with great prizes and many good players. In this match we will have two old folks, not so old, but they have a lot of experience.


Adrian Mannarino (29) : Frenchman is not very young 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. 23/12 score on hard, so he will improvedvery much this year, now he is back on indoors where he is best. Adrian can serve a good serve, he like to hit fast shots and play fast tennis. In many ways he is similar to his opponent in this match. 5/3 on indoors court, but he can make it work.

Rosol Lukas (204) - 32 years old player, who is currently in not the best phase of his career, he is very low in rankings, after hard month, injuries and distabilyti he is back on court. Ex top 26 racket, can make a lot of good moves, he have good, solid serve, he is good on court, he can hit very strong forehand, but he is lack of confidence and stability. 147/115 career record on indoors courts, it not so bad, Lukas is more clay type player.


In the end - Frenchman is good player and he is showing best result this year so far, but he will struggle with fresh Chezch player, who came after long good tennis break, so we will see a good fight. Adrian will play first match here and Lukas third one.

Moscow round 16 with many interesting unkown or ex good players. Prizes are good and motivation for players is higher and higher. In this round we have lithuanian Richard Berankis who can't find his good tennis and very talented and recently new comer in top100.

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.

Philip Krajinovič (77) - Many years player from serbia couldn't keep up with good tennis and high rankings, but finally he made it, and now he is where he deserve to be. Philip really like to play on all courts, but he prefers slower courts like clay. 65/20 year balance shows us that he wins more often than looses, but on the other hand he mostly plays on challenger level, so this is ATP. Serbian can hit good serve, he is really fast and can defend good on baseline.

In the end - Maybe Serbian is really good now, but he won two tournaments in a row on clay, now he is playing in ATP tournament after Q round. He can be tired and his opponent Richard will took advantage of it.

Philip really made impressive run, but he must stop

QF Round At Moscow ATP/WTA tournament and here we have many interesting players to watch, long time we didnt see a Berankis,Seppi in QF. So different players and a lot of motivation.

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 9/2 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.

Andrea Seppi (88) - Tall Italian, who is getting older and we see it from his ranking already 88, sometimes even out of 100. Still Andrea can play spectacular tennis, he can hit superb forehand and player is known for his good serve. Seppi can play on all surfaces, but mostly he prefers clay courts even if he is 2 metres tall. It been a hard year for him, but he reached a QF here so its really solid perfomance.

In the end - Italian won two times this year against Damir Dzumhur, so he won't be loosing this match easy, but Damir going for revanche so he will play his best tennis. I can say we will see a lot of game's today.

3 finals on ATP tour today. - I have some opinions, but im not sure about all, maybe Dimitrov Del Potro under, Berankis under and last in Belgium i dont know

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.

Good 3 finals at ATP last week

ATP500 Viena - Good one, with good prizes and many points for just winning first match. And here we have two serving player.

Herbert Pierre(83) – Tall French player, who mostly finds himself in doubles with his partner Nicolas Mahut, but some time like this he also plays on singles tournaments, after winning qualification round he will meet American. Herbert is mostly known for his height and big serve, on fast court he is very dangerous, he like to serve and volley, he can run really fast, his technique quite good, he have all the qualities to be a good player, but somehow he manages to be in second half of top100. Like we said, he don’t play often in singles. Still player is dangerous, most important thing to win in Frenchman play is serve and fast shots.

Tomic Bernard (145) - Australian player who went from top players to under top100 players. Why? Well player have no motivation at all, he plays afwul now, but now he is trying to comeback after struggling in this season a lot. In this season 11/21 winning loosing balance. Tall Australian is most famous for his super serve and very impressive and strange serve.

In the end - Well i think two serving players must play at least on tiebreak. h2h is good for us.

- Oh flashscore cmon...

ATP Vienna first round and second final match for these two great guys from Russia Moscow ATP final.
They played a good final, but now i think they wont be making any sense and someone will win match in two sets.

Ričardas Berankis (126) - 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 good run in two Russia tournaments he will try do something on ATP500 level. He went up a lot in ranking thanks to Russia. 7/4 on indoors courts this year.

Damir Dzumhur (31) - 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 , he won ATP Moscow, he just love Russia, let see how he will do in ATP500 level tournament at Vienna.

In the end - Final is final, something must change and i think they will play same like before.

ATP Vienna is going to the further rounds, bigger prizes, better players. I was sitting and thinking about all matches, but this one is the most interesting for me. Why ? Well Marton playing the best tennis in year so do Mayer Leonardo, but Leo isn't so good on hard.

Mayer Leonardo (52) - 5 years older player from Argentina is shorter guy, but right handed player is again in top100. Leonardo Mayer was really good player few years ago, he won many titles, but lately he went down, but with the downs there are ups, so he back again. His highest ranking spot was 21, but what happened next? Well tennis player live is very difficult, a lot of injuries, family and other things was the reason why he went down in the ratings. In this tournament he will get a lot of points, money is not the problem, neither a goal for him, he wants points. First round was not very easy, but he won. 31/19 this year record shows he is recovering. Strongest things in his gameplay is serve, he is much better server, also he knows all the things about clay, how to slice, how to drop ball.

Marton Fucsovics (100) - Player from Hungary, who is not the tallest player, but with very solid serve. This year Marton is playing pretty impressive tennis, he won 49 matches this year and lost 24. He reached top100. 12/6 On indoors hard so far, but he will keep playing so he will improve it. Marton played Q round here and won first round so he is in pretty good shape

In the end - Marton is much more valuable here, he played more here, he have better result on indoors.

Good review, i like to read these

ATP BASEL 500 - Or like i like to call it Roger Federer tournament. Prestigious because of Roger Federer atracts many good players, also atp500 level tournament have big prizes.

Roger Federer (2) - Maestro is still in very good shape this year, coming back to top 4 was big goal and he made it, now becoming No.1 in world is near to. It is like time machine for us, then Roger and Rafa was in the top. Maestro started this tournament without any struggles and he won easy ,we believe he is in good shape, he won masters not long ago so he is in most perfect shape. Some people says Roger is better than few years, i can agree with it. Player from Switzerland plays very good tennis, he is still enjoyning it and playing like fresh player, but with all experience he is even more dangerous. Don‘t forget after long years waiting he already won two Grand Slam titles this year. Hunting for No.1 he will play even better than usual, it is his dream we can say, to be once more no.1.


Adrian Mannarino (28) : Frenchman is not very young 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. 23/12 score on hard, so he will improvedvery much this year, now he is back on indoors where he is best. Adrian can serve a good serve, he like to hit fast shots and play fast tennis. In many ways he is similar to his opponent in this match. 9/4 on indoors court, but he can make it work. He is playing best tennis in years, good shape.

In the end - Tournament belongs to Roger, as we see at h2h Roger is to good. They both can be in good shape, but Roger is to magnificent.

Didn't work... Adrian played to well

ATP Basel 500 - SF round and we have two great players over here.

Marin Čilič (4) - Player from Croatia with great serve, great tennis mind. One of the best players in the world for now, can he be the big four player? Maybe, we will see. For now Marin played many events in this year and he almost secured a place in finals for himself.

Juan Martin Del Potro (19) - Argentinian Tandill Tower, who can serve extraordinary serve, hit superb forehand and defeat players like Roger Federer. Juan still trying to reach TOP8 but it will be extremly hard for now, he is only 19 in ranking, so he need to win this tournament and win Paris Masters.

In the end - Marin looks much more fresh to me, even if he almost lost match yesterday, he will make his mind for this one and be 100 confidedent with his tennis play. Juan looks agressive too, but he must safe his wrist.

Struggling... Not going in the way we want

I will write some reviews today! Anyone else?

I have question, is this Paris Masters last tournament for ATP?
