ATP - Rafael Nadal v Mikhail Youzhny Tennis betting preview

This big total just cannot be missed. According to the bookies, this total would mean that this match will be resolved in 4+ sets or that one of the players will win in an extremely tight match, with at least two TBs. I think that such outcome is close to being impossible today and H2H of these two is something that bookies are calling on the most when setting such odds and consider this 6-4 H2H in Nadal's favor. Most important think they rely on: in their last (and only) match on grass so far, played in this very same R16 of Wimbledon, but last year, Rafa triumphed in 5 sets. But, the last three sets of that match were won by the Spaniard 6/1 6/2 6/2 which showed that Youzhny ain't some 'big serving machine' but only had one shorter moment of positive madness in that match and caught Nadal off guard.

The way Rafa played versus Kiefer is the proof why he's the real master of tennis game. He hasn't allowed a single break for the German until the moment when he was all relaxed and already served for the match, but even after he got broken then he was one more break up and ended the match without any stress. Here he'll again be the absolute dog and now I will give you all one piece of advice - 2nd weeks of Grand Slams are time periods when dogs raise up their game and catch the form for the semis and finals, destroying their opponents. Today I expect a very motivated Nadal, who will also seek the revenge for the defeat he got against Youzhny in their previous clash in Chennai this year. Rafa will undoublty try to show how much better he is than Youzhny right from the start, and the Russian isn't playing in his top form at all right now struggling versus half-injured Stepanek and Galvani, a player ranked below 200th position in the world, managing to beat both in long 5 sets. That is just a sign that he is ready to get beaten badly today.

Such huge total will be surpassed only if Nadal drops a set which to me is quite unrealistic to expect considering all said above. Therefore, high stakes are recommended on this bet.

GL to all.
