J. Nieminen Vs. P. Kohlscheiber

Hopefully Nieminen

Kohly has the power to see off Jarkko, but the latter is no push-over...will certainly prove a (much) greater test, than Roddick, in the rallies.

Nieminen, and "Well, so much for that" strikes again.

Though I sincerely hope Kohlschreiber keeps his level of play this high, because it's certainly more interesting than Jarkko.

Kohlschreiber won't be so effective like he was against Roddick because Nieminen knows what to do against the baseliners. The conditions are important. This match probably won't be in the night session and Kohli's serve won't be so powerful like today. I expect Nieminen in 4 or 5 sets.

J.Nieminen in 4.

Jarkko in a close one

Kohlschreiber in straights

Funny that we Finns (myself included) think Nieminen has less of a chance than the foreigners.

It will be the battle of excellent backhands. Both of them have enormous bh- Jarkko's twohanded control is fantastic, and Kohly's has is so powerful on that side too.
It will be a good match, Kohly in 4

Calculated pessimism rules. If your favorite player loses, you can at least claim, that you knew it all along. Whatever happens, you win.

Great wins like the one today also have to be digested. I don't know Kohlschreiber well enough to judge whether he will be able to. I tend to favour Nieminen.

Well said.

This will be their 7th meeting since March 06. That's pretty unusual for guys of their ranking.

Let's see Jarkko fold under pressure. I'm going with Philipp in 3, 4 if he's tired.

Jarkko is the one of the two who has actually reached a GS QF and he did it twice!

I have a feeling that Jarkko is going to win this, in 4, maybe in 5.
