Game preview : Los Cabos ATP250 In Mexico, wondefull tennis event for the players and all people, who watches tennis on tv or live. Why Los Cabos is so fun? Well, reasons are simple, tournament is near beach with a lot of beautiful places, all players enjoys the view, the hospitality and all that good feeling comes to court and people see that too. A lot of good players came here to play and of course one of them is in Semifinal round tonight, its Tomas Berdych who will meet youngster from Australia Thanasi Kokkinakis. What players get for reaching semifinal? 32,400$ and 90 ranking point's and right to fight for final.
Let's talk about players :
Tomas Berdych (14) : One of the bigger guy's with great serve, strong shots and big heart. Tomas is elite player thats for sure, he had some great results during his career, he was no.4 racket, never reached that no.1 racket, but he still can. 31 year old player, who is 190cm tall and 90kg weight. So what is going in Tomas life? This season wasn't so good, until Wimbledon where he reached Semifinal, on hard court this season he have only 12/9 score, for elite player is not good enough, but with hard surface in USA again he must improve if he want to be in top10 again. Strongest side of Tomas tennis play is his serve, strong shots and of course talent. Interesting that Tomas rarelly wins versus super elite players like Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal. and that most important thing if you want to reach highest hights. Chech player always just breaking down on important matches, no matter how hard he tries.
Thanassi Kokkinakis (454) - Young player from Australia who is only 21 years old, but with his career strugles, he missed almost two years of tennis. Australian plays really nice tennis, he can make can serve well, he have other mentallity compared to other Aussie players like Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic, he is more not only hard working, but maybe even talented and motivated, he is not kid , when it comes to tennis. Fast and athletic player, can be very hard pill to swallow for all players, every match he tries to do his best. Now he is only 454 in ranking, but he was 69 already if not that injury he coud be maybe in top20. This year he played 3 matches on hard and won all of them.
Comparing players : Completly different players, Tomas is from old school, he plays with power and strong moves, he have very solid serve and thats main things for his victories, Aussie tries to play fast, mixed game, he can serve good too, he can run, he have not so storng stand on court, but he likes to run and play different styles.
What to expect today : We can guess that Tomas didn't come here for title at first, but now he is near that title, anyway this tournament is like warm up for Us open series for him, he isn't playing his best tennis yet, while Thannasi for sure came here for point's and to show everyone he can play and he will. So we can say it going to be good fight, they both wont give up easily, Australian can take at least one set from Tomas.
