I had few opportunities to watch Bolelli this year and must admit that I really like the play which he is showing this year. The way how he is playing fits perfectly for clay courts and also statistics from past years are showing that he can play his best on clay courts but with difference from past years now he has enough experience and confidence to make problems to any player. This is confirmed with easy wins over Chela and Seppi which are quite good clay court players and also playing good match against Davydenko...only match where he showed bad performance this year on clay was against Starace...

Must be stressed out that Bolelli is serving almost perfectly in Muenchen (around 70% of first serve and is using this with taking around 80% of points on first serve) and he hardly can be broken with such performance.

Today I watched Mathieu first time since Australian open and must say that I am not so impressed with his performance while Cilic created problems to him. Must be stressed out that match Cilic is typical hard courts player although he has quite good results also on clay courts but Mathieu with his best performance should win this match without any problems.

Also it must be stressed out that against Cilic Mathieu had first real 'test' in Muenchen because first two matches against Gianluca Naso and Daniel Brands can not be taken into consideration for analyzing of Mathieu performance...and from my point of view he did not passed this test and Bolelli is 'hot' really playing 'hot' tennis these days and that is the reason why I am expecting good match which I would rate 50:50 chances and according to good serving performance of Bolleli I am expecting him to take at least more games than Mathieu including handicap of +3,5 offered with Gamebookers.

Good luck...
