Although they both made huge step from their last meeting and their previous clashes were pretty tight, especially last one in French Open where Serb won 3:2 after real thriller, I believe tonight Viktor will be the one to dominate with at least 3 games advantage. Kubot from last season is improving constantly, took some big names down and broke into further round of some nice tours, still again I will bet against him. Against Stakhovsky my lack of information took me down as Ukrainian player had some leg stretch problems and wasn't trying to attack the net too often which basically killed his style and allowed Kubot to win a lot from baseline, on which Sergyi was kinda pointless. Now Troicki as I dig up seems to be healthy and armed up for new season, which hopefully will be good for him, because he is talented guy, nice serve, smashing forehand, he likes taking risk, in previous seasons it was producing a lot of unforced errors but slowly, slowly this young guy is getting there and winners start to dominate. I think if this match will go down to three sets it will be pretty similar to Kubot's match with Cilic. Pole probably will start really strong, it will be very equal clash and I rate he will have big chances to take over first set, although as I saw Kubot he don't like long marathons, especially with bombers like Troicki. Troicki will have to break Kubot's spirit in 2'nd set and then 3'rd should be formality. I rate Troicki as more dangerous player and Kubot already achieved a lot in Doha passing 2 rounds, for sure he is exited about going to Oz Open with nice beginning due to ranking he raised lately.
