ATP Washington - Michael Llodra vs Robin Haase
Llodra Rating System: 2,90
Haase Rating System: 1,65
Head 2 Head: Llodra 0-0 Haase
Michael Llodra (rank 61) is a pretty experienced French player that goes very well in fast surfaces like this one. He decided to take a break after winning the doubles tournament in Wimbledon and now he is returning to the circuit to prepare the most important tournaments of the summer hardcourt season. His serve & volley game is pretty good and extremely efficient on a tournament with a fast surface like Washington. His experience also helps him to sneak a break out of nowhere on a bad serving game of his opponent.
Robin Haase (rank 104) has only played eight matches on hardcourt during his career. He is still very young and inconsistent and even though he defeated a struggling Alex Bogdanovic in here in the first round, he is still far from being a major threat on the surface. His serve is good, but I can see Llodra getting a break once or twice during the match, thanks to his experience. Haase’s return game isn’t nothing exceptional and Llodra will easily hold in most of his serving games, if he plays at his normal level.
Llodra has way more experience on the surface and his serve & volley game makes him very tough to break on a fast surface. Haase is playing for four weeks in a row and together with a trip from Croatia to the United States makes me think that the Dutch player may feel a little bit tired today. If Llodra plays at his normal level, he should win the match and advance to the third round of the tournament.
