Bautista Agut - Dzumhur Damir

Game preview : Final in Winston Salem ATP250. 50,830 $ For Finalist and 150 point's, winner takes 89,280 $ and 250 point's. Nothing impressive comparing to Us Open prizes, but title is always more important thing than prize or point's. In today final we have last year finalist Robredo Bautista and first time finalist here Damir Dzumhur.

Let's talk about players :

Roberto Agut (15) – Spanish player, maybe Roberto looks weak on physical and power tennis, but he plays totally different tennis. Roberto is not tall player at all, he can serve a good serve sometimes, but mostly he using his head to win. 18/6 score on hard this year and yes, this spaniard really like fast surfaces not only clay. Roberto have best score on hard courts, 208/99 that is pretty much impressive. How small player like this from clay surface country can be so good? Well, like we said he uses his own strategy, his coach said : His every opponent is in big trouble, because Roberto is always ready for them, he watches a lot of recordings, does his math and makes a strategy for every player. Also player from Spain is very talented, he have good, strong shots in every direction , nice touch.

Damir Dzumhur (67) - Player from Bosnia And Hercogovina, not tall, not with significant moves, no superb serve, but player still tries hard as he can, and look at him he is in 67 spot. This year 13/7 on hard, players isn't great hard court specialist, but he can be proud, he won against T.Berdych, Rafael Nadal and other great players. Damir likes to run a lot, hit very nice shots, he is very fast, but still he prefers slower courts, where he can do a lot more. Even with his style of tennis he reached a final here.

Comparing the players : Both players are similar in physical way, they have similar height, weight, but both players playing on completly different levels. Spanish player have more power on every shot, more accuaracy, more everything, while Damir is playing simple fast tennis and only sometimes shows us superb play. Damir Dzumhur have a great spirit of tennis and big motivation, but to win a title is not enough. Roberto is much more experienced player and his talent and thinking while playing is very impressive.

What to expect today : Few things to say : 1) Damir Dzumhur is after clay tournament, where he lost in the final, now he without any rest or warm up on hard is playing at hard surface event. We guess he was on fire and in good physical shape, but now he must already feel that all tiredness from this much tennis matches. 2) Damir will meet a hard court specialist and without very good warm up on this surface he won't be able to compete.
3) Roberto, he is magnificent player, and last year he didn't win a title here, so this year he will not make same mistakes like last year.
So we guess it will go easy for Spanish player, two set's and done.
