Analysis for Lee-Eitzinger (ATP Munich)

Head-to-head record 0:0

South Korean Hyung-Taik Lee will face Austrian qualifier Rainer Eitzinger in the first round in Germany. Lee's career-high ranking in singles is World No. 36, which he achieved in August 2007. He is right-handed and uses a one-handed backhand. His favorite surface is hardcourt, the most common surface in Korea. He is an offensive baseliner who tries to win the point by hitting winners from the back of the court, attacking with fast balls that the opponent cannot reach or return properly. He has a deadly array of shots and shot-types. Lee normally has the ability to read the game very well and also his opponents styles and tendencies so that he can spot a weakness and use one of their aggressive shots to act upon it. On the other hand, he often lacks the patience and lacks the match practice on dirt as well. He has never been successful on clay and we believe that his younger opponent has a decent chance today. He came through the qualifiers pretty easily and should be in a good form. He is still not a top player but seems to feel comfortable on clay and could be able to keep it close today. Odds above 2.4 can be tried for a small stake.
