Analysis for Kiefer-Beck (ATP Monte Carlo)

Head-to-head record 0:0

Nicolas Kiefer will play his fellow countryman Andreas Beck in the first round here. Kiwi is a player we like for his aggressiveness and fighting spirit. He has consistent groundstrokes, and while he is known for his exceptional double-handed backhand and service return, he is most known for his strong forehand. His forehand and serve are also major weapons. He is seen as an intense and emotional player, sometimes having outbursts on the court by muttering at himself or at his coaches, or even off the court. He has an offensive baseline style of play, and is also known for his superb feel at the net. He prefers grass and fast hard courts while the clay has never been his favourite surface. Even during his junior career, ha has been achieving successes on all surfaces but the clay. Furthermore, he has not a play on clay for almost a year and we think that his today´s opponent should be better prepared for this match. Andreas Beck is a talented player who represent the upcoming German generation. He has a great season so far and even if he spent most of his time on challenger circuit, he has a solid record of 13 wins-5 losses and we think that he will be hard nut to be cracked for more experienced Kiefer. Odds above 2.35 are good enough for us.
