Analysis for Devilder-Haase (Amersfoort)

Even if the second round matches don´t offer too many interesting opportunities, we chose one for you. It is the match between young Dutchman Robin Haase and Nicolas Devilder of France. We like the agressive style of play of Robin Haase (we saw him playing couple of times this season) - he has an excellent serve, good movement around the court and he is mentaly mature for his age. He played well at challanger tournaments last year and we believe in his success even at ATP tour in time. He has been gleaning this season so far (except for the win in challenger at Wolfsburg), but we belive that the time for change has come and he has pretty good chances at home tournament. He defeated Mantilla in the first round without any problems (6:3,6:2). Nicolas Devilder destroyed Calleri in the first round (6:3,6:1), rather because Calleri has walked through this match and it seemed he even does not want to play in second set. Otherwise Nicolas is in agony this year - he began with three losses in row and it is no glory during the ongoing season as well (balance 17:19). We think that the match is well-balanced and Robin should be a slight favourite. Odds high over 2.0 are pleasant surprise. We also count with Dutch audience driving their darlings ahead (Haase, De Bakker and Sluiter starts on Wild Card and all of them will be also in second round).
