Simon vs. Harrison

50/50 match.... unreadable imo... maybe Harrison can make the difference with serve....

Simon doesnot play good. Harrison the american boy will win this easy.

realy fancy harrison here .
Watched his last three games he fairly blasts the ball.
Would prefer if his odds were longer for trading.

Ebdon looks good for a possible trade also vs isner his odds are 5.5.
ok he beat a under par fish but worth a look J K

I thought market will price it around evens or give slight edge to Harrison. As I said earlier, at 2.14 you gotta take position if you have at least a mild clue about tennis.

Simon's UEs aside , nobody mentioned that Simon is a mental midget with limited ability to adapt (therefore all those massive low odds gubbings that he has demonstrated over the years).

Harrison is an up and coming young fighter with a lot of potential, with crowd behind him and on a court that suits him.

think simon can win this match,he defo will test patience of harison and in this field harisson isnt world beater

simon is tactical player and he is adapting very well to the opponents his tennis brain lifted him to top 10 , but recently his form dropped so everybody can ride on him but he is good player.
harrison istn this level for sure

but simon also is the biggest mug of the world so u can expect anything from him

ok so describe simon game for me please

You know what Simon's game is. He rallies.. and rallies.. moves his opponent into tricky positions until they hit an error.

Oh come on, he was a different player then and yes he was not adaptable, ever. You might as well say that Roddick is adaptable since he defeated a lot of good players and was No.1.

Simon's main weapon has always been defense, patience and ability to rally forever.

He is not even remotely close to that consistency these days, and even back then he was well known for losing won matches because he was always unable to adapt when things started to go wrong.

Calling Simon adaptable has to be the biggest joke I saw from a regular forum poster since beginning of the year.

Simon is known for his speed, agility and tennis brain. His backhand is considered his best shot as he is capable of expertly creating angles and varying his shots in addition to taking the ball earlier and unleashing flat and penetrating backhand drives. He is also very capable on the forehand side, and his forehand is the wing with which he is able to attack opponents. His technique is seamless, and this enables him to absorb and redirect powerful shots. As mentioned before, he is also a tactical player who can vary his hit point on both sides, keeping the ball on his strings until the very last moment, and then suddenly taking the ball early with random injections of pace. This keeps his opponents off-guard; hence, although he is widely classed as a counter-puncher, it is often he who controls the points.

As his career kicked off in 2008, Simon began to work tirelessly on his volleys and net-game, and this has since come to form a prominent part of his game. Nowadays, he looks to sneak in and finish points off at the net whenever he can, and he often enjoys serving and volleying or rushing to the net off the return to break up his opponent's rhythm on break points and important points in general.

In general, Simon is often overlooked in an era filled with powerful players and big servers. However, he is a unique player with countless layers to his game. When lacking confidence, he has a tendency to retreat behind the baseline and play passively. However, when he is confident and lucid, he is a force to behold.

There is fiction (wikipedia) and there are facts (as I explained).

Well nobody is a total robot, lets not go to that kind of extremes. Just try watching matches regularly and you will start to get a feel for players styles and capabilities after a while.

im sure u watched more matches than me matin, u r forum best expert here so im not even thinking about my knowledge as knowledge compared to urs

OK, so how do you explain that a high quality adaptable player who is known for his smarts lost so many matches in his career from totally won positions? This does not seem logical to me, surely he had time to adapt and overcome.

I am talking numerous sub 1.05 crashings.

I am in a big plus but some people and groups seem to resent me opening threads with quality analysis, so I decided to drastically reduce or stop doing that. Why bother, I get next to none quality feedback anyway.

inability to close the match has nothing to do with adaptation.
he isnt most powerful player with big serve so he may be shakey in times

no layers.. the layers at his every match are countless

Market likes Simon. Lets see how it goes.
