Who would expect these two youngsters in this year Las Vegas tour final? Probably no one. It is really amazing that these two handled the pressure and tonight will stand against each other to fight for the tittle. Once again I will try to catch a really big fish. Risky bet, if someone don't want to try it I advice average stake for Anderson win because in this match it will all be about serve condition and mentally resistance. Will Querrey handle the pressure of being strong favorite at home and is Anderson ready to fight for tittle when just few days ago no one was talking about him in ATP world? Besides of many matches (hard matches with tie-breaks) that he survives well in this tour (4 main draw + 3 of qualification where he lost a set only) I strongly believe that as a youngster he is prepared well for this and there's no way to talk about tiredness. He called medical help in match with Llodra but as we all see in next matches (e.x. with Korolev) he runs and put every step for offensive stance without any mark of injury. This 201 centimeters giant from South Africa impressed everyone with strong serve and rallying very hard ball exchanges with every opponent. I hope he feels fine and will use his serve like he used to and will fear not to attack Sam's reflect balls. In serve contest he proved his value extremely well against master in this art - John Isner, yesterday high Ginepri was able to break him twice but still Anderson very offensive style pushed the match to end with simple result 2:0. Querrey impressed here too. He also bases his game on serve (191cm height) but on field looks more passive way game than South African and I think if we won't change it it will be the key for his loss. I remember the match against youngster Nishikori few weeks ago. Japanese weren't too powerful player but still very brave and astonishing with ideas for game. Sam didn't handle it and even his well working serve didn't saved him from loss. This going to be harder than Nishikori, because Anderson is playing his life-time tennis and he is a much bigger and stronger player, who still moving for every ball on field. Canas yesterday made a lot of mistakes and errors, he break Sam's few times but his own serve was not enough strong or technical. Grosjaen was able to bite a set from Querrey and I think that he was the only one who really pushed Sam. Benneteu is too unregular player. Kiefer was out of idea for this match. I don't say that Sam didn't proved his value here, he did and very impressing, it's hard to sent off Canas or Kiefer even when they are out of form, but still Anderson had much harder draw and he showed better in my opinion. Sam posses good serve but many times I noticed that he like to lose concentration and after that he must defend break points and even if his defense is good one random ball with aggressive Anderson game can make an advantage of break and with good Anderson serve ending with set loss for Sam. Gentleman's met in 2007 in Sacramento Challenger where Sam had won with 6:3, 3:6, 6:3 result. In my opinion Anderson made a huge improvement in his game and now it's time for him to win. If he will handle the pressure, won't think too much about game style, just do what he does in this tour and his body feels fine, in my opinion result after nice and equal game will be 2:0 for Kevin, who truly deserved with such game for this title even if he isn't (yet) well known in ATP world. Good Luck!
