Australian Open Day 5: Match of the Day

Alexandr Dolgopolov vs. Bernard Tomic

A night session match on Rod Laver Court that should attract a lot of attention. 

Both are playing some of their best tennis and both are looking to make a long run in the event.

Dolgopolov is 3-0 against Tomic, including two wins in 2011.

Most observers think Dolgopolov's game frustrates the big Aussie and I agree.  Dologopolov neutralizes Tomic's strengths and with the courts playing a little slower, the Aussie will have his hands full.

I like Dologopolv in 5 sets.

Wimbledon Day 10 Match of the Day: Tomic vs. Djokovic

For just about all of 2011, Novak Djokovic has been the hottest player in tennis.

For just about all of 2011, Bernard Tomic has been a disappointment. 

On Wednesday, one of these players has a chance to build on 6 months of hard work and be on the verge of becoming the #1 tennis player in the world.  The other can turn his year around and thumb hi noe at those that said he was wasting his talent and time.

Djokovic is the favorite, but Tomic has really come on and is playing great grass court tennis.  In a match like this, experience usually pays off.  They have never played before and I have to go with Djokovic.

Prediction: Djokovic in 4 sets.
