The world no 1 Navak Djokovic, no 2 seed Andy Murray and no 3 seed David Ferrer will be in action on tuesday at Sony Ericson Open 4th round. This time they have to face the tests which are tougher to some extent as compared to the previous rounds.
First of all David Ferrer will take court against Asian no 1 Kei Nishikori. David Ferrer and Nishikori are tied at 2-2 head to head at atp world tour. Both met two times in grand slams, their first meeting was at Australian open where Ferrer prevailed, the other meeting was at US open where Nishikori won in epic five setter. The other two meeting were at London Olympics where Nishikori won and other meeting was at Tokyo where Ferrer won. So overall both of these guys have pretty much even record. So no solid prediction can be given about this match. I think no one will take risk to bet against Nishikori because he has ability to come on the top at any stage.
After that Murray will be in action against Italian Andreas Seppi. Andy Murray leads head to head against Seppi by 4-1. His only defeat by the hands of seppi was in 2006 Notingham open in three sets. After that all the meetings were one sided in which Murray won in straight sets. Their latest meeting was at Rome in 2010 where Murray won by 6-2 6-4. In this match Murray have to avoid those mistakes that he committed in previous match because Seppi is the man who always jumps upon the opportunities. If he gives any chance to Seppi as he gave to Dimitrov then he has to pay the price.
In the night session Djokovic will lead the show, when he will take on against Tommy Haas. Tommy Haas got the Atp award of most improved player last year. In his compaign last he was the only man in 2012 who beat Federer on grass court at Gerry Weber open. Djokovic leads head to head against Haas by 6-2. Tommy Haas beat Djokovic twice in 2009 Wimbledon and at 2009 Gerry weber open. Both events were on grass, and at that time Djokovic was not the same man as he is now. All meetings on other surfaces were won by Djokovic. Their most recent meeting is in 2013 Hopesman cup in which Djokovic thrashed Haas by 6-2 6-0. In today's match same thing is expected but in tennis any thing can happen because both players have to start from 0.
The other matches of the day include Gasquet vs Almagro, Tsonga vs Cilic and Berdych vs Querry.
