Ferrero play hard at this moment with few unforced errors. He moving well, has normal serve for grass. Strong forehand and nice backhand. Also he returns not bad. While Gonzalez have only strong service and very strong backhand. But it is not enough to play successful on grass. His shots are not flat and it is crucial for grass type of player. All in all i think Ferrero has all chances to advance and i see value in this pick.
Benjamin Becker now in exelent form. On previous week he won a tournament where he crushed all his opponents. Most of them in staight sets. He has a very strong serve he moves well and good in returning. He has only one weak side - he can make a lot of unforced errors. But it may happen when he plays against solid base-liners. His style is very suitable for grass. And i think he will crushed his low-skilled opponent.
Mirza is more experienced player. She looks very confident in rallies always attacking sharp and unpredictiable. Her style is good for grass while Cirstea prefers to play on clay where she tries to defence and to wait for opponents error. Anyway i think she has lack of experience on grass. She has nothing to do with variety of attacks that can produce Mirza, so i expect she wiil loose today.
J-W. Tsonga has plays not very good on returning games and Golubev has strong first sevice. Tsonga has good record on grass but this victories was in 2007. In 2008 he didn`t play on this surface. Also he may play lazy and wouldn`t struggle on every opponents serve giving him opportunity to play. So i think Golubev will struggle in this match. Tsong it seems will not kill the opponent.
M South plays at home. She participate in a couple of tournaments this year and lost more experienced opponets. While for M. Johansson it will be first match this year. Her previous results shows nothing impressive. I watch her match with Vitalia Diatchenko and she looked horible. I think she must be stunned easily in this match. Melanie South is more expirienced player and she has all chances to advance.
Stosur now plays perfect. He shows some part of men tennis becuse he can produce powerfull attacks near base line. So it will be to hard for Wozniacki to return such balls on grass. Also she has a strong serve strong enough to win 33% o higher points at least i think. Wozniacki stle of play suits Stosur because she trying to control ball in game waiting for opponents error. But Stosur plays aggresive and can produce strong attacks even in uncomfortable position. So it will be hard for Wozniacki to advance here
D. Istomin plays hard now. Last weak he struggled with Lopez F. and gave him no breakpoints during the match. He is serve and volley type of player but very experienced. S. Querrey success depends on his serve when he serve well he had chances to beat opponent when not - it is hard for him to win a match. Also his record on grass is not good. So i think Istomin fight hard and even he has chances to beat American.
