ATP - Tommy Robredo v Marat Safin

Yes, I remember well how I was writing to you that Robredo is worth not much on hard but still not much don't means nothing and I expect that Robredo specific style will come well against mad-Marat game. H2h show that Robredo even on hard was finding way to beat Marat even in times when Russian was in top of ATP. Tommy leads 3-1 and twice he won on hard. Safin after Wimbledon slowed down again and he didn't convinced me in tours before US Open that he is ready to fight here like he used too in England. Loss to Tursunov is not a shame, but with Gremelmayr and injury with Fognini gives more hopes for Tommy. Very long and thrilling match against Spadea in first round. Marat argue a lot with referee, he even left a court for a while, he was able to win this but Robredo concerning to their styles will be much harder opponent. Robredo maybe don't poses great serve, but he is doing not much unforced errors and if he catch a day he knows how to exchange, exchange and exchange more hits. He also didn't shine before US Open losing with Soderling, Cilic and Seppi, but here in US Open much nicer he looked against Zverev beating him without many problems, and Zverev in last tours was showing some decent tennis. Only 17 unforced errors on Robredo account looks good. I believe that if he was able to beat Safin in times of his glory, now when Safin isn't presenting great he will do this too.
