  • Tommy Haas vs. Radek Stepanek

    - A pair of players here with classic grass court games, trying to start off their grass season in fine form.

    Tommy Haas has had a terrible year this year. Injury, bad losses, tough breaks, he's had it all. Some of his best tennis has come on grass, however, and he has a classic grass court game to go along with it. A stylish one handed back hand, controlled baseline aggression game, and not afraid to attack the net.

    On the other side of the net we have Radek Stepanek, a player known across the circuit for his wild antics, net-rushing game, and skill to get with just about every WTA player there is. He will look to serve big and come behind it on every opportunity.

    This will be a classic grass court match between the two as 90's tennis enthusiasts will get a nostalgic refresh with these two. If Haas' terrible year is to turn around, now will be the time. He is a fantastic grass court player, and if he can get it together, can win this event.

    The more likely scenario, however, is that Stepanek serve and volleys his way past the German veteran en route to his deep run at this event.
