[October 6 - October 12]

Nadia Kichenok vs. Xinyun Han Nadia Kichenok will face Xinyun Han in the last qualifiying round for the WTA tournement in Tianjin (China). Kichenok played a horrible year with a 12/18 record on all surfaces and 7/10 on hardcourt. There were so many disappointing matches on hardcourt that I can not name them all, but she lost against Amanmuradova (rank 251), Hozumi (rank 172), Morita (rank 182) and more disappointing results. She could only win two of her last eight matches on hardcourt and will play her second match of the qualifiying tonight. Last night she won against Yuxuan Zhang who is only ranked 435 in the world and who already had huge problems in the first round against a player who is outside the top 900 so Kichenok needed to win this match. But tonight she will face a different and better player: Xinyun Han. Han is only two years older and played a really good year with a 34/21 record on all surfaces and 24/19 on hardcourt. She is a left hander and played a great qualifying here so far and only lost eight games in two matches: This is really good. She only plays in Asia and already played some great matches here: She played a really taff first set against Linette and won against many top 300 players. She definetly likes playing in China because this is her homecountry . For me the odds on Han Ml are value because she played a better season on hardcourt and has the better record in general this season on all surfaces. Tonight the will play on the second biggest court in Tianjin and the people will support her. She already won more money then Kichenok with tennis and I am not sure if Kichenok, who is totally out of form is able ton handle asian tennis style in general. I think that the players are nearly on the same level at the moment and the odds are clearly to high. Xinyun Han Ml @2.61 ( pinnacle ) 1/10

Hiroki Moriya vs. Steve Johnson

Hiroki Moriya will face Steve Johnson tomorrow in Japan. Hirko Moriya played a really strange qualifiying he had huge problems with Suzuki who is out of the Top 1000 but i just checked out his profil card and I saw that Suzuki is resident in Tokyo. In addition he made more then 700.000 dollar with tennis so this really was not an unknown player here in Tokyo. The round after these bad match from Moriya he won against top youngstar and top challenger player James Duckworth in three sets. Guys: This really makes no sense: I mean you should not have problems with a player like Suzuki if you win in three sets against Duckworth. Moriya won more then 50% of his own second serve and returnes really well. I also saw Moriya last week against Dodig: This was definetly not a bad match from Moriya i mean he had twice the chance to serve for the first set but he could not win one of these two important service games. Moriya definetly plays his best tennis on hardcourt where he has a 23/16 record this year which is great. Tomorrow he will face Steve Johnson who played the best season on the pro tour so far with a 25/14 record on hardcourt and even won against players like Anderson, Haas, Isner, Karlovic, Gulbis and Paire. But the key is: where did he win against those players?- All except the battel against Anderson were matches in the USA. And this is the most important point tomorrow and the reason why there is value on Moriya. Johnson played nearly all his good matches in the USA with thre crowd behind him: tomorrow he will face Hiroki Moriya on the center court in Tokyo where Moriya is resident. He will have a huge fan base there. In addition Johnson did not play any match since he had to retire at the Us Open against Ito: Tomorrow we will have about 24 degree there in Japan when a player who is resident in Tokyo but inconsistent in his game will face a player who played most of his good matches in his homecountry with the crowd behind him. Johnson did not play any match since one month. I am so sure that there is value on Moriya playing against the American on the center court tomorrow with full motivation and a great crowd behind him. No bet under @3.00 Hiroki Moriya Ml @3.3 ( pinnacle, Marathonbet @3.4) 1/10

Moriya lost 6:7, 2:6 -1
