Taro is riding on its good momentum?
Great Auckland tournament for the Japanese, one thing is certain he arrives with confidence!
Big challenging end to the season for Daniel and a clean start to the season in Hong Kong then in Auckland, he plays good tennis and gains a lot of confidence. Quite the opposite of Eubanks who has only won 3 matches out of the last 13 he has played. The American may be suffering the aftermath of his huge period in the middle of last year. Physically he struggles to stay fit, notably with a thigh problem against VDZ last week, but in the game we have the feeling that he is no longer in the zone, he is less clutch and takes a few small spankings. Yes with his quality of service he can annoy a lot of players on the circuit but the rest of his game is weak. The physical angle is not to be taken into account given the profile of Eubanks, Daniel can arrive tired he remains favorite for me given that the match will not be a physical battle.
