Richard Gasquet - Florian Mayer

Game prievew : Szczecin challenger, final on clay. Today we have a two great players, they both are to good on challenger level that for sure. Richard Gasquet will try to win first challenger tournament in 7 years and Florian Mayer will try to stop frenchman. Today its all about points and tittle, both players have a lot money, but maybe in past few months or years not enough titles and points. Winner will get 125 ranking points.

Let's talk about players :

Richard Gasquet (30) - Frenchman did start his first challenger in 7 years with many easy and hard wins, he was very close to lose one matchm but he managed concentrate and win. He played maybe not the best tennis this year, but he still trying to improve. Maybe match by match he will reach his best tennis.
Richard is not so tall, but he have a good serve, good backhand and good strategy. Main qualities of Richard is his head, he thinks very well, his shots are near perfection, especially from the onehanded backhand. Frenchman played on clay 10 times this year and managed to win 7.

Florian Mayer (69) - Tall german player, who can serve superb shots, he is quite good at basseline and hitting strong forehand hits. Anyway his career was good and bad at same time, he was close to retire from tennis, but Florian managed make his comeback and reach top100 again after all injuries. Player really like fast grass court and slow clay courts, for tall player like him its very interesting thing to do. German guy like to play mixed tennis, he can serve and volley, he can make sliced shot or dropshots from everywhere. This year he have 16/9 balance on clay.

Comparing the players : One is tall, other one is shorter, one is good server other one isn't hoping for his serve to save him. Frenchman is really good on rallies and his tactics, while Florian often plays different style and often he start to do stupid things on court. We think serve isn't most important thing today, its all about tactics in the final match.

What to expect today : We can say final is always nervous place, so betting on under is often good idea. This time Richard Gasquet is our factor to bet under, such good player in lower level can do great things and he have resources to do it. Frenchman is much more faster, confident and can stand on all rallies without mistakes, his top spin hits or crossovers can be very dangerous for tall player like Florian.
