Wawrinka (-2,5 games) -Kohlschreiber

After the American Open and the Davis Cup Games we entered this week the last part of the season which includes the Asian swing and the indoor European tournaments culminating in the London finals. In the two tournaments in Mets and St. Petersburg with big surprise to come from Russia and the exclusion of Berdych from Bolelli while Pgdati also lost for the 2nd round to Robredo 2-0.
At the Mets, Wawrinka saw the joy with his own eyes yesterday and needed the tie break of the 3rd set to pay Brown's resistance with the Jamaican having several chances in the 3rd set to achieve the coveted break. Vanvrinka is not in good condition after the US Open and a week ago had to make the upset to beat De Baker 3-2 for the Davis Cup. before the Asian tournaments.
And if yesterday against Brown he succeeded in the end today Wawrinka will have a much harder task against Kohlschreiber who in the first two rounds defeated Millman and Lorenzi to reach the quarterfinals. The German is very dangerous on fast surfaces and I am waiting for him to get the oil of Vavrinka and to fight the match in a straight line. Even if he does not win the match, I believe that he has many chances to stay close to the score and to defend the +2,5 that is given to him as a handicap.
The two tennis players have faced each other twice in the distant 2008 with Vavrinkas getting two victories in Roland Garros and Madrid.
