This is the first time they have played.
Dolgopolov has found his form this week after months of erratic displays ( mainly caused by injuries). He has beaten Tipsarevic and Cuevas in straight sets. Tipsarevic was poor but Cuevas was just out played.
Melzer looks to slow down Dolgopolov’s improvement in form
Melzer had a tough win over Andreozzi yesterday. Andreozzi looked slightly better in their 1st set but when Melzer nicked it in a tie break it affected Andreozzi a little as the 2nd set progressed.
I think we have value on Melzer to take a set here. Lay Dolgopolov if he breaks in the early games. Three sets looks likely and I favour Dolgopolov to win in the end.
