This match stinks, right?
Two guys who like it fast and tomorrow we will be treated to windy, cold conditions and heavy soil. We're not going to see great tennis but there's something to scratch!
Rodionov is going through a complicated period but he had three victories in Madrid last week, I like what he said after his defeat in the semi-final: "after these last few weeks, this week gives me new strength and shows me that It's my turn. We can also learn a lot from defeats and hopefully turn them into positives in the future. Tomorrow I leave for Munich, where I will be in the draw from Monday. Looking forward to it!” I like the way he is handling this period and he definitely wants to continue the positive results in Munich. Indeed slow clays are not ideal for him, he prefers when it is fast, but it is the same for Vukic. The Australian relies on a good serve and a big forehand, immediately less effective when the surface is slowed down. If Rodionov manages to touch his opponent's backhand he can completely neutralize him and make the match less complex, Vukic will be stronger on the first racket shots but with more wind tomorrow he will not serve as well as usual ..
