Today  in late schedule we have meeting between to extremely good servers,Spaniarn Felicijano Lopez and American John Isner.Neither of them has been expected to reach third round as they had hard oponnents.Isner has beaten Stanislas Wawrinka and later in straight sets Kunyitsn while Lopez had much harder way  winning in straight sets two home players Llodra and Monfils.In both matches Lopez was underdog but his serve and perfect play at the net pushed him forward.
In today's match the winner will be decided in tiebreaks.If I had to give advantage to any of players it would be Feliciano Lopez despite the fact that Isner has better serve.Lopez has really low backhand slice which will force Isner to bend and it is always problematic for tall players.Considering their playing strategies they are pretty simillar.Mostly it is serve and volley but I wouldnt be suprised if we see few baseline exchanges today,in which will Lopez have advantage beacuse better backhand(isner can only sllice while Lopez has good backhand).I do not see more then 2 break opportunities in total match and if this match goes in straight sets,it will be in worst case 7-6 7-5 which is also over.I do not see this match going under and I think over is very good bet.

Danas u vecernjem terminu imamo susret izmedju dva izrazita servisera,Spanjolca Feliciana Lopeza i Amerikanca Johna Isnera.Od nijednog se nije ocekivalo da ce uspjeti doci do treceg kola jer su imali izrazito teske protivnike u prva 2 kola.Isner je iznenadujuce pobijedio Stanislasa wawrinku pa zatim Kunyitsina u 2 seta.S druge strane je Lopez imao puno tezi posao pobjedivsi s 2-0 oba domaca tenisaca,Llodru i Monfilsa.U oba meca je bio outsider ali ga je servis i izrazito dobra igra na mrezi dovela do treceg kola.
U danasnjem mecu ocekujem da se pobjednik odluci u tiebreakovima.Ukoliko bih morao dati prednost nekom tenisacu,u ovom trenutku bi dao Lopezu unatoc cinjenici da Isner ima bolji servis.Lopez ima vrlo nizak backhand slice koji ce prisiljavati Isnera da se saginje sto je vrlo problematicno za vise igrace zbog opterecenja koljena.Sto se tice njihovih stilova igre,poprilicno su slicni.To je uglavnom Servis i igra na mrezi,iako me ne bi cudilo da bude  i par izmjena sa osnovne linije,u kojima ce Lopez imati prednost radi puno kompletnijeg backhanda.Ne vidim vise od 2 break lopte u ovom susretu i ocekujem 3 seta,ali i ako bude pobjeda u 2 seta rezultat ne bi trebao biti ispod 7-6 7-5 sto opet  znaci da ide preko gemova.
Sretno
