Andy Murray vs. Philipp Kohlschreiber H2H

These two produced an instant classic at Roland Garros last year.  I like the contrast in stroke production between two players who use different techniques to produce all of the shots in tennis.  This should be a fun match.  Clay is probably the surface that gives Kohlschreiber the best chance to spring an upset versus Murray.  This is so not because Kohlschreiber is a clay court maestro, but this is clearly Murray’s worst surface.  Murray is not bad at clay though having reached 2 Roland Garros semifinals in his career. Kohlschreiber playing on home soil adds some motivation as well.  Still, I think Murray has the inside track to victory.  Murray is fit, fast, returns well, and could be a dark-horse of a sort at Roland Garros.

My Prediction: Andy Murray d. Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-4, 4-6, 6-3
