John Millman - Damir Dzumhur

Game preview : Welcome to China, we will see a lot of action here. Mainly in China and Japan events we have last hard surfaces stop. Many tournaments every week, some times two or more tournaments per week. What we see ? Fast surfaces, a lot of good hits and big prizes. In this match we will see a St. Petersburg trophy winner Damir Dzumhur and Australian Jonh Millman.

Let's talk about players :

Damir Dzumhur (40) - Player from Bosnia And Hercogovina, not tall, not with significant moves, no superb serve, but player still tries hard as he can, and what we see now? he is 40 in rankings for first time in his career.. This year 14/11 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.

John Millman - Australian player, who played really well few years ago, he have a great serve, very fast forehand and he is very athletic and quick on court. Why he went down in rankings again? We can't answer that, but he is good player, he can be in top 100 for sure. 203/113 hard surface balance in his career, good numbers, we know he can play well.

What to expect? : Well, we see one way. Damir will be tired, but he will try to continue his good run and probably will play with a lot motivation and fire in his eyes, still he is tired and how much energy he have left nobody knows. He will try play succesfully but how often it goes its not so easy to play well again after winning a trohpy. John will play this game, he knows his opponent is tired, so he will try to make opponent run a lot and waste his energy.
