Final match in Nottingham between the French Clement and Croat Karlovic. Both have reached the finlas with impressive wins over their rivals in previous rounds (only Clement disapointed me when losing a set against Gabashvili). Clement has reaches the finla by betaing Johansson, Gabashvili, Gasquet and Bjorkman in semis. On other hand Karlovic won Wawrinka, Smon, Del Potro and Tursunov. Both players are great on grass surface, especially Clement this season who reaches semis in Lonodn and now finals. Karlovi is also very hot on grass, his alltime record on grass is 55-26, so we can see he played a lot of matches on grass and I think he is the most competitive on this surface. His biggest weaponis is his serve (he is 208 cm tall!), but today he wiil facing a player who has a great return and I expect less aces form Karlovic side on this match. Thses players have so far met 3 tims and also twice on grass and both times Clement won (last win in london last weak in straight sets) and Karlovic won once on hard surface in Athens 2004. I see a close encopunter, but Clement in better form, he had tougher opponents in this tournament in my opinion so expect him to win, although bookies put Karlovic as favourite.
