David Ferrer and Mikhail Kukushkin, two very good players for today's match.

Let's talk about players :

David Ferrer (25) - Spain player, who played many matches in his life, had many titles and he is one of the best players on clay court, still he can play really well on all different surfaces, he is very talented and now he is very experienced player, not a youngster anymore. 175cm player most his life ran for all balls and returned a lot of them, now he changed his strategy a little, mixed his play, he is more agressive, he use longer shots. David is glad to be here, after few hard years, he is coming back to TOP Elite players, he is just flying back to highest point and can somebody stop him ? Maybe we will see him like R. Nadal in the top. Last year he reached 3 round here.

Mikhail Kukushkin (103) - Player from Kazakhstan, who is very good player, very talented, but unfortunately not lucky at all. He can player really well on court, but his health always on question, one match he can be very healthy and on the other match he will be injured. Mikhail is Tall player, with solid serve, good thinking and motivation, at best shape he can compete with elite players, but often he is not healthy enough for it. 17/11 this season record on hard court, few good challenger events and some good ATP level tournament and he still near Top100, maybe he will comeback to the TOP100 soon. Last year he played in first round here and lost.

Comparing the players : Both players are really different, one of them is tall, other short, one with great serve other with simple serve. Let's look how they performe now, David now is playing very solid game on hard surface, he is more agressive, much more stronger than before, so he uses that good tactic on hard court. Mikhail playing similar style, he have a lot of agression, offensive is always good in his tennis ,but on speed and defense he is loosing to David, so for today spanish player is much better. h2h 7-0 , David is leading, so if before Mikhail could compete a little and win a set, so for today he will struggle a lot more.

What to expect today : David is playing much better at this moment, so with all improvments he will make it hard as possible for Mikhail to win at least more game's than ussually. We guess David will be better in every point, so there will be easy 3-0 win for David.
