Mahut Nicolas - De Scheeper Kenny

Game Preview : Indoors hard tournament in Metz. Similar tournament to St.Petersburg, but not so fancy or rich. In the second round we have two French players Nicolas Mahut and Kenny De Scheeper. These two players are really good at serving and playing serve and volley.

Let's talk about players :

Mahut Nicolas (107) - Frenchman who is 35 years old and play very nice old style of tennis, he isn't afraid of running to the net after serve, after good hit from forehand, he is one of the best players near net, why so? He is also top player in doubles and in doubles you must play good near net, you need have great reaction to ball so from doubles to singles he transfered a lot of good play, but sadly this year he don't play good at all. First round win was very suprising and almost to easy for him. 190cm tall and 80kg weight player have 2/2 indoors hard score this year, Frenchman is very good on grass and indoors courts.

Kenny De Scheeper (181) - This Frenchman is also out of top 100 bounds, why? We can't say for sure, he played really good tennis last year, but this year he just can't compete with youngsters. Two metres tall player can hit very good serve and catch all lobs over his had, he is also quite good at net. This year he is mostly playing on challenger level and have 29/27 match summary. Maybe he didn't work enough on his physic state and we can see he runs to slow for fast tennis.

What to expect in this match : Well both players are not young anymore, they like to simple tennis, hit serve run to the net and finish the point. These two old wolfs play really tennis in indoors courts, but we can say Nicolas Mahut is much better player in many ways and he is proving that by leading h2h 1-4. Anyway in this match we want to see a lot of game's and at least one TB.
