Analysis for Stepanek-Troicki (ATP Paris)

Head-to-head record 2:0

Experienced Czech Radek Stepanek will now face Serbian Victor Troicki and we will go against Stepanek once again. We have already said a lot about experienced Czech. Stepanek is a big-hearted player who is said to be not as talented as other top players but his main weapons are his head and enormous fighting spirit. He has a great season and isn’t really far from finishing in top 10. On the other hand, he is often under the odds and we don’t think Troicki is such a big dog today. Troicki is a typical hard court player and if he avoids making many unforced errors, he can be dangerous to everyone, especially on fast surfaces. He has a great serve and if he keeps concentrated, it will be difficult to take his serve. We expect a tight match and don´t think that Serbian should go over 2.8 here.
