Cilic Marin - Tsitsipas Stefanos

Game preview : Tokyo Open ATP500 tournament great us all here. We have good prizes (1,706,175 $ prize fond), good players, good hard courts and many activities. Asia tour is on fire now, we had some tournaments already, now we are in the middle of asia tour.

Let's talk about players :

Tsitsipas Stefanos (117) - Youngster from Greece is in the highest ranking spot of his life, but little by little he is still going up. Tall player with great serve, great thinking and talent can play very well, still he need to improve, youngster style of tennis won't be successful all the time. 11/6 w/l record on hard surface this year, nothing impressive yet, he reached only one SF in challenger, but it's not his surface, if we look at other results, Stefanos is very succesull on clay courts. He came to main draw after beating Q round.

Marin Cilic (5) : 28 years old, 195cm and 79kg very solid numbers for this guy, to play very good tennis on grass, clay or hard. Why he is so successful on tennis ? Answer is simple, he is big, strong, but still very fast and have great intelligence of tennis, of course he is not no.1, but he is working to get there, always trying to do his best, its hard to get there because of great players like Andy Murray, Novak Djokovič of course his opponent in final Roger Federer. Hard statistics is not good for croatian 6/6 , but he still can improve it.

What to expect ? : Well, we can say Marin didn't play long time in ATP tour, but he played Davis and Laver cup so he can be in quite good shape, but youngster from greece keep getting better and better, he played two matches here already so he can be ready for this match in all ways, we guess he will compete at good level in this match,
