Nieminen, Jarkko v Becker, Benjamin Oct 16

[gottimhimmel]

I am going to .5 units on Jarkko at (-230)

Here's why: http://www.matchstat.com/Compare/558/2904/9863

He has one all 3 of their meetings on I_Hard.

He Recently Quartered in Tokyo

He has better stats overall than Becker:

more specifically his return game stats are better, which are the key to winning these I_|Hard matches where both players have similar service game stats.

After all, he has always been able to play well in Stockholm (losing only to some of the toughest guys around), so the return to familiar conditions (which also suit his game) should give him plenty to build on and I can also see him being very pumped up after that rather unfortunate Asian tour. His results from that part of the year might have been horrible, but his game did show some glimpses of improvement and there is a good chance that things will finally fall into the right places this week.
Moreover, Benjamin Becker is not a guy that Nieminen should be afraid of, as he usually enjoys playing against such one-dimensional opponents - and, judging by the H2H record between the two, Becker should struggle to get anything going against the Finn on Wednesday.

This is Jarkko's favorite, straight from the horse's mouth.
