MEMPHIS ATP TENNIS FINAL


Andy Roddick faces Tommy Haas and here we have another pairing, that know each other very well.


The German leads the h2h 5-3 and won their only previous meeting here, but that was 6 years ago, so of little significance, his other 4 victories, all came on clay. Haas likes it here and he will be looking for his 3rd title, he has also thrown in the odd howler in Memphis.


This is also Roddick's third final appearance and he will be looking for win number two. I was impressed with the American yesterday, in his straight sets win over Andy Murray, gaining revenge for last weeks loss to the British player. He was serving HUGE ! No one in the world would have returned some of those bombs.


Roddick looks motivated and has won their last 3 meetings on hard courts. The schedule has not been too kind to Haas, he has had a couple of early starts, which he was not impressed with and has a flight from New York to Dubai, 10 hours after his match in Memphis starts ! The complex life of a tennis player .


I think Roddick really wants this one.


4 points Roddick to beat Haas 1.69 Pinnacle // exchanges.


Good Luck.
