ATP - Paul-Henri Mathieu vs Michael Llodra Tennis betting preview

Llodra’s game this season has gone well. His serve is versatile and tough to read for his opponent. His moving on the court has gone forward and others aren’t anymore capable to outplay him as easily as before. He tries to end points fast what is uncomfortable for Mathieu. Mathieu should control the ballrallies with his better hittingskills but what I have seen from Llodra this year the edge can’t be big on the fast surface because he can push his opponent. They have met twice before on the grass. From the stats Mathieu controlled then the secondserves and Llodra firstserves what’s going to be the direction today too but Llodra should be capable to keep his firstserve% about 10% higher than Mathieu. The matches ended 1-1. 2005 2-1 sets for Llodra and 2007 Llodra retired after Mathieu won the first set tiebreak, the played points were even. Their grass- and indoorhardrecords favour Llodra and waiting a tight game where isn’t much possibilities to break and Llodra’s good servicegame under the pressure is a edge in this case for him. Mathieu hasn’t been too good against lefties, 19-28 (11-20 against top100) record tells he might have some extraproblems against lefties but last year he performed against them better. Llodra has unique playingstyle mixing doubleplayers weapons to his game and his attitude has been great this year.
