Steve Johnson - Harrison Ryan

Auckland ATP250 tournament and second week of this year just started, so we will have many matches. Still on first round i chosed a two americans players, because i really see a 50/50 of chances here. Ryan Harrison and Steve Johnson will meet for 3 time.

Let's talk about players :


Ryan Harisson (ATP 44) - Player from USA, which was promised very nice career of tennis, but his converting to mans tennis was to hard, so he struggled a lot, but now he is in very good shape, he is in men tennis and top50. Ryan is simple player, he have quite good serve, he hits strong forehands shots and have american style of tennis, but he is middle player, in my oppinion he have a lot good qualities, but not superb.

Last week he played a good tennis in Brisbane and reached a final there, where he lost to Nick Kyrgios, so he is in pretty good shape now.

Steve Johnson (ATP 46) - Another tall american, with brilliant serve and nice serve and volley tactics. Steve is fast for tall player like he is, so he can play good on baseline, still is all about his playing style and hits, he is not Djokovic or Murray type, he can't defend well, still he can run fast and hit good shots from forehand.

Mostly Johnson plays tiebreaks in his matches, and sometime he is lack of motivation or power in his game, but let's hope he will try do his best on this one.

In the end - Both players are a lot similar, in many ways they play same tennis and using their serve and strong hits to stay in the game. I think in this match we will see at least on TB.
