Wimbledon Day 5 Match to Watch
Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 9:29PM | Gentlemen's Singles - 3rd Round | ||
| Gael Monfils(FRA)[21] | vs. | Lleyton Hewitt(AUS)[15] |
A Centre Court match that should feature a lot of fireworks and precision shot making. I give Hewitt a slight edge for his experience and success on grass. Monfils is just plain fun to watch.
Prediction: Hewitt in 5
Honorable Mention Match:
| Gentlemen's Singles - 2nd Round | ||
| Thiemo De Bakker(NED) | vs. | John Isner(USA)[23] |
It will be played on Court 5, and both players are coming off marathon matches. Isner more than De Bakker. This will be another serve fest, I'm not sure Isner will have enough in the tank to compete at a high level for more than sets, but I hope he does. I like De Bakker's game from the few times I've seen him play. He's a player on the rise.
Prediction: My heart says Isner in 3. My brain says De Bakker in 4.
There are potentially so many good matches tomorrow. Any given court could produce some great action. Should be fun.
