Analysis for Nieminen-H.T.Lee (Indian Wells)

Head-to-head record 2:0

Don´t understand why Nieminen is the favourite here. He began the season in excellent shape but his current form isn’t optimal. He is coming off three devastating losses in a row and his self-confidence must be at zero point. He is a versatile player with relatively week serve but solid hits from both sides and his movement and backcourt game are also above average. However, we are not sure about his mental condition and bearing in mind that he is gonna face in-form playing Lee, things should be really tough for him tonight. H.T.Lee is right-handed player who often uses a one-handed backhand. His favorite surface is hardcourt and his main strength is his movement. He disposes of solid backcourt game and is extremely athletic. He tends to go after every shot, even apparent winners from his opponents. He defeated Llodra in the first round and we think he is able to improve his head-to-head record against Nieminen.
