Analysis for Zverev-Sijsling (ATP Rotterdam)

Head-to-head record 0:0

Igor Sijsling will play German Mischa Zverev in the opening round at Rotterdam. Sijsling used to play mainly Challengers and Futures and even if his latest results weren´t excellent, he has been showing some signs of improvement last year. He has a great serve and should feel great indoor, especially in front of his home audience. He advanced through the qualifiers here in Rotterdam beating both Ch.Rochus and Huta Galung comfortably. He should be well prepared for this clash. His opponent, Mischa Zverev, is also a giant player who is known for powerful and precise serves as well as heavy forehands. His backhand down the line is also very dangerous. He has an offensive baseline style of play, and is also known for his solid feel at the net. His latest results weren´t however impressive and German is 0-4 this year. Even if he is a talented player, we expect a tight match today and anything around 2 is good enough for us.
