ATP - Michael Llodra v Ivan Ljubicic

ATP Halle - Michael Llodra (FRA) vs Ivan Ljubicic (CRO)

Michael Llodra has been one of the most impressive players in this season, especially on fast surfaces, thanks to his serve & volley game. Grass is together with indoors his best surface, as he can take advantage of his serve & volley game and also get to the net to cause pressure on his opponent's service games. The French player is 17-8 on his last 25 matches on grass and he has already one title on this surface.

Ivan Ljubicic is far from being comfortable on grass, even though he has a title on this surface. However he didn't have to face any player from the Top 50 in that tournament and he struggled to defeat in the final Peter Wessels (number 488 in the world by then) by 7:6 4:6 7:6. The Croatian player is 0-5 against Top 50 players on grass since 2004 and his forehand is likely to breakdown, under Llodra's pressure on the net. His serve is huge, but so is Llodra's and the French player has actually improved a lot his tie-break record and he is as experienced as Ljubicic.

Llodra is playing like a Top 20 player on fast surfaces this season and he has a lot of confidence on his game right now. Ljubicic is capable of defeating weak opposition on grass, but he simply can't defeat a good player on this surface. Take Llodra to win in here. Regular Play.
