Analysis and Prediction
There is little to separate both players according to the current form that they are both in at the moment. At this stage of the competition, mistakes could prove costly and that is one thing both players will be looking to avoid in this match. They have all played excellently in the competition and it would be interesting to see how this game turns out. However, the hardcourt surface might prove to be the deciding factor for both players.
