| Men's Singles - 2nd Round | ||
| Janko Tipsarevic(SRB) | vs. | Fernando Verdasco(ESP)[9] |
This is a great 2nd round match between two guys who have played three previous times.
Tipsarevic owns a 2-1 lead in head-to-head action. All three matches were played on hard courts and Verdasco won the last meeting back in 2009 in Valencia.
Both players should have rooting sections from their respective countries in Serbia an Spain.
Tipsarevic likes playing in Australia, almost beating Roger Federer here in 2008. Verdasco has played well in the Australian Open, reaching the semis in 2009.
It will be a minimum 4 set war, possibly 5 sets, but Tipsarevic will come out on top this time.
*Upset alert - In a second round women's match Rebecca will take Francesca Schiavone to the limit and win.
