Australian Open Day 10: Match of the Day

Novak Djokovic vs. David Ferrer

The number one player in the world against the number one fighter on tour.

Ferrer posses all sorts of problems for most players.  Novak Djokovic hopes he doesn't have that many problems in this quarter-final match.

Djokovic holds a 6-5 carrer edge over the Spaniard, and won the last meeting at the World Tour Finals in November.  This court is playing slow, but I have to give the edge to Djokovic.

It won't be easy, it never is against a player like Ferrer.

Djokovic wins in 4 sets.

ATP Tour Match of the Day: Abierto Mexicano

If you like clay court tennis, today is your day with a couple great semi-final matches in Acapulco.

First up will be Almagro and Bellucci.  They've played once before with Almagro coming out on top in a three-setter.  Almagro is on a 12-match winning streak and is on his favorite surface.

Bellucci is more of an all-court player, but is also tough on clay.  Almagro has played a lot of tennis the past couple weeks, but he should be a little too much for Bellucci. 

Prediction:  Almagro in two tough sets.

Then the nightcap, Ferrer and Dolgopolov.

Ferrer is the top seed in Acapulco and has never lost to Dolgopolov.  But Dolgopolov from the Ukraine is playing the best tennis of his life and sees a great opportunity here.

Prediction: I actually like Dolgopolov here in a three-set upset victory.

Should be a great day of tennis on clay, the action will be on Tennis Channel.  I hope more fans show u today that did yesterday.
