ATP - Tomas Berdych v Jarkko Nieminen
22 July 2008
Preview By Tipster Crni (Croatia)
I must say that I never liked the way how Nieminen is playing while he has style which best fits for clay courts (and also is quite boring clay court style) and also sometimes he is managing successfully to adopt on faster courts (we say in Croatia in such cases "Also the blind chicken sometimes finds corn")...think that in match with real hard court player he does not any chances....
But however this is only my opinion and for sure someone will disagree and I appreciate that)...He has some fabulous results on hard courts on end of last year and beginning of this year in Australian open and after that he did no managed to create some good result.
I watched complete match between him and Cilic in Wimbeldon and must say that the match went into 5 sets only thanking to Cilic nervous playing and maybe also little bit in lack of experience (although for Cilic we can say he is experienced player).
However this period in front of us is time when Berdych is playing on 'his' (hard) courts and gaining most of ATP points and according to his style of playing with hardy breakable serves I don see any chances for Nieminen.
Also handicap of -3,5 games on Berdych looks fine...
PS. To stress out that h2h is 2:0 for Berdych where he won both times in straight sets...
Good luck...
