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.

It doesn't matter to Novak Djokovic, who is fresh off his U.S. Open loss to Raf Nadal on Monday. He will be front and center to take on the Czechs in Belgrade.
"Yes, I am exhausted because it's not the easiest thing in the world to recover from playing the entire U.S. Open and traveling back east but I have to adjust as quickly as I can," Djokovic told a news conference after Thursday's draw.
"We can't wait for the tie to begin and I am sure I will be able to beat the fatigue because our motivation and desire to reach the final are huge," said Djokovic, who takes on Radek Stepanek in the opening singles rubber Friday.
Serbia's Janko Tipsarevic takes on Tomas Berdych in the other singles rubber Friday, while Nenad Zimonjic and Viktor Troicki face the Czech duo of Jan Hajek and Ivo Minar in Saturday's doubles.
