Wow, h2h is heavily in Niemo's favour and they played 3 matches on hard, Niemo won all 3. Even though Benny's stats vs. Left Handers is 19/20 he apparently has problems handling Niemo.
I would expect a win for the Finn but his serve is so weak it may let him down.
I think Benneteau will win. He has been on fire this week.
I watched the Nieminen Istomin game and thought Istomin had control in the second half of the first set and coughed up an epic tb, which was the back breaker for him. Istomin really went to town on Neiminen's serve, I think he even got the break back after Neiminen was 40-0 up. The court hours for Neiminen has to be a slight issue as well.
I'd love for Benneteau to finally get a title and his game has been on this week, but if his SF choking is any indication, Nieminen might get over the line.
They will not play this final anyway...too much rain the next days,just cancel it and let the players prepare for AO...
Idiot guys in sydney,didnt rain there until the evening came,instead of playing it afternoon...
Both of them are like clown Monfils, unlucky in finals...but I think Nieminen will win, in 2009 Nalby had some troubles to beat him in final, he's a very tough opponent who never gives up, he's mentally much stronger than Bennet. If Nieminen wins, he could pull out of AO 'cause his 1rst match is scheduled on Monday (night session) ???? It's only a possibility of course, he can decide to play AO
Why won't they just flat out say right now it's cancelled has anyone seen today's forecast there, its worse then Yesterdays. Not fair on the players I'm sure both just want to get to Melbourne already.
