Lačko Lukaš - Damir Džumhur

Game preview : Welcome back to China, we will see a R16 fights. Mainly fast surface in China always gives us fast fights with not so many overs. Still rich tournaments atracts many players. In this match we will see a St. Petersburg trophy winner Damir Dzumhur and Slovakian Lukas Lacko

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 15/11 score on hard, player 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. Now he is in good shape after trophy.

Lacko Lukas (118) - Almost 5 years older player from Slovakia, whom had promising career when he was younger, a very talented guy, but unfortunate for Slovakia and him something in his career went wrong and from promising player he became a simple challenger player. The highest point in Lukas career was when he reached 44 ranking spot, but now he is only 118. In other hand player from slovakia plays well on challenger level, often he reaches a finals, semifinals, but sometimes he even plays good on big tournaments like Wimbledon, in 2015 and 2016 he reached 3 round. As a player he can be very good, but sometimes something goes wrong and he starts to loose his point's in every tournament. Anyway this year he have 16/8 record on hard, once more it is promising result.

What to expect ? If in first match Damir had some struggle, so in the second match he will struggle even more. Lukas is playing simillar game to last Damir opponent, but Slovakian is much more agressive, he is in better shape and just plays better. So we can say tired Damir going to have some problems.
