    What's Not to Like About Stevie Johnson?
    Hadn't really considered this a play until I looked at Dodig's results on hard-courts this year and last, which seem woefully unimpressive. I'll be the first to say I don't know much about him, however.

    I saw Johnson play live last week, and he seemed to have an impressive range of shots and styles, but he had a tendency to over-use the slice, in my opinion. Don't see much discussion on this one so just thought I would raise some.

    I'm not convinced about Johnson and Dodig isn't as bad as his recent results appear. Stay away.

        Probably is you saw him playing a guy in Kukushkin who stinks and Rublev who is super inexperienced.

        I like Johnson, but his consistency has been his biggest downfall. He's actually shown a bit more this year. Really pretty similar players. Line seems fair. One thing I do recall is Dodig has struggled in hot environments some, so that might help you here. Debated this for a long time. Might still play it, but going to see how this first batch of Acapulco matches plays as far as the conditions. Very windy I think again.

          What you guys have to remember is this court is somewhat slow... It's meant for the returners. Who's the better volley/returner? Wouldn't be suprised to see Dodig take this to johnson

            Johnson looked like a pretty good returner when I saw him. Not saying the other players were any good, cause they weren't, but he was hustling all over the court and had some nifty shots.

                    I've made no efforts to hide the fact that I am a neophyte in all aspects of the sort. No need to be a douchebag, but I guess that's what the "D" is for, asshat.

                    He won, BTW.

                        This is why people don't like you around here, and probably real life. Get over yourself. STFU. Thanks..
