ATP - Rainer Schuettler v Arnaud Clement

ATP Wimbledon - Rainer Schuettler (GER) vs Arnaud Clement (FRA)

What an interesting match this will be. Out of nowhere these two former Australian Open finalists go face to face with the winner reaching a Grand Slam semi final for the second time on his career. Even though Clement is being favored by the bookies, the truth is that Schuettler has a great game to make Clement struggle. The German leads the head to head by 4-1, including a win in the Australian Open this season. Schuettler has been facing baseliners during the whole competition (Ventura, Blake, Garcia-Lopez, Tipsarevic), so he will be adapted to the way this match will be played, with baseline rallies and the players not going to the net very often. Schuettler is a really talented baseliner and he has consistent as a rock in this tournament, outplaying on the baseline great aggressive baseliners like Blake and Tipsarevic. He has also been serving extremely well and he has been consistently winning more than 80% of the points played on his first serve. Also his 1st serve percentage has been around 60%, which is quite good.

Arnaud Clement also surprising reaches this stage of the competition, but he will struggle in facing a good baseliner like Schuettler. First of all Clement has been playing in this tournament players that love to go to the net and players who are far from being consistent (Bjorkman, Becker, Melzer, Cilic). This is exactly the opposite of how Schuettler plays. Also Clement's recent defeats already on grass against Del Potro, Seppi and Roger-Vasselin clearly suggest that Clement has been struggling in playing consistent baseliners, as he can't wait for the error of his opponent, as that simply won't that. With Schuettler getting the upper hand in the baseline, due to his great defensive game, Clement will need to attack and take risks, something Schuettler will take advantage from the experience he gained while facing Blake and Tipsarevic in this tournament. The match is going to be close, but Schuettler won't need to change nothing from the previous matches, while Clement will need to change almost everything, as he will face a player completely different from his previous opponents. In the battle of the baseline consistence, Schuettler will end up prevailing. Take the German to win in here.
