ATP US Open match preview: Clement - Schwank

Fighter

Arnaud Clement is yet another one of the French veterans on the tour whose play is decorated by huge amounts of fighting spirit and the ability to never give up, which was best demonstrated in his first round match against favored Baghdatis, when he came back in style losing 2-1 in sets, but eventually prevailing and winning after a marathon. He surely got exhausted after that clash but I believe he recovered after a couple of days and is ready to get past yet another opponent, this time entering the match as a favorite. Surely, a very respectable opponent.

Improving the form

Eduardo Schwank didn`t record too many notable results this year and generally had a few ups and downs in form, firstly losing in the finals of Sao Paolo challenger on hard, just to win another challenger after that on clay. He is a much better player on clay but he can often show good performances on hard, and from what I`ve seen of Schwank recently, I would say he is improving his form a bit. He gave a hard time ti solid hard-courters Dent and Verdasco, taking them both into 3 sets in his past two tournaments, and then he beat Ginepri in 4, in quite a tight opener at this year`s USO. Last year Schwank didn`t even participate at the USO so it could be said he is already satisfied with the result he`s recorded so far.

The Frenchman continues his adventure

These two never met before but I believe Clement should be a much bigger favorite than the odds suggest. He is the player that saves his best for the big tournies, Grand Slams, and what he has shown against Baghdatis was just outstanding. If he will be able to repeat that, primarily I mean the stability on his serve in the key moments and attacking-minded tennis on the returns, I don`t see how Schwank will manage to even win one set. Sure, the Argentinean won against Ginepri, but the American is totally out of form and the fact that match was pretty tight can only mean Schwank isn`t playing that great either. I expect Clement to dominate this match, and win by at least 2 sets difference. Good luck.
