Have a hunch that Chung gives Nando all he can handle tonight..

[beefcake]

Reasons...

1. Pixie dust clay favors chung and movement. Dude can run for days.Think he is fitter than Vertanko.

2. He played birdy in Miami in hot humid weather..similar today

3.Should be fresh with day off.

4. Playing with house money.

+1.5 sets +110..small play +300

For what it's worth, I agree with your sentiment. I don't know about argument no. 4 though...

Also if he wins today..gets into top 100..which means no qualies at French..

It's like as if Chung has added a good serve overnight. His serve was terrible before this tournament and it was the one worry I had about him playing on clay but then again, Houston clay isn't slow enough to really see how he does on proper clay.

Chung's fitness is definitely insane and I would say he plays similar to Coric but with less power at the moment, although moves his opponent around a bit better.

Still don't think either one of them will be great players though, in my opinion.

[Hardcoar]

Verdasco playing very well today, a lot better than his recent matches.

As for his (and Coric's) future, that depends entirely on how you define "great". I'll agree they won't be a new Djokovic or even Murray, but top 20, absolutely.
