We know Davy has been playing very well & he will want to do well again this tment bec going for a deep run in the French Open is prob NOT going to happen. So he might give every effort in these lead up tournaments.
Dodig has lost 3 of his last 5 matches but almost ALL have been 3 sets or really close. HE did lose to Almagro 6-1, 7-5 last match. He will present a good challenge for Davy & might push him 3 sets or two tight sets. If he plays lights out, he can win. But I really think Davy will pull this one out & be just too tough from the baseline. When Davy starts taking the ball really really early, he can be really good.
They have played once and Davy won in 5 sets at the US Open in 2011. This is completely diff & Davy has his ranking back to around 40! He will want to make a run this week & a good match against Dodig is just what he needs to get it going. Won't be an easy match, but look for Davy to move into the second round.
Just my opinoin. Best of luck Omar. I'm back around now brotha, had some MASSIVE issues to deal with the last week & I am feeling better from sickness. AND my left shoulder is back ready to start training again for my next tment, I have been out for 2 weeks almost. I can't WAIT to hit the practice courts!!! Talk to ya soon...
