Analysis for Seppi-Garcia Lopez (ATP US Open)

Head-to-head record 1:0

Italian Andreas Seppi will meet Garcia Lopez of Spain in the second round. Seppi is currently one of the top Italian tennis players. He performs well on all surfaces. He considers his forehand his best shot, plays right-handed and has a double-handed backhand. Seppi can play a very solid game and has more experience on hardcourts then Garcia Lopez. He is not a typical Italian player having a solid serve and playing well on fast surfaces as well as on clay. His opponent will be Spanish player Guillermo Garcia Lopez. Lopez still remains far behind expectations this year however, he made some solid results in 2008. He is one of the most unpredictable players in the modern game, as he is capable of spectacular shotmaking especially with his outstanding single hand backhand and clever dropshots. Lopez defeated Hrbaty in the first round and his confidence should be high enough. We think odds above 3.00 are worth taking here.
