22:50 Santiago Giraldo – Janko Tipsarevic

Santiago Giraldo will face Janko Tipsarevic in the round of 16 of ATP Houston .

Tipsarevic manage to beat Clezar in his first match after one and a half year pause because of injury . He showed that that he still can play on very high level . He served very good and have 18 aces in that match . Also he reminded us in some moments how powerful forehand he have . However I think that at his moment he cannot do more than this and I think he cant do much against Giraldo today . But I expect more from him in this season .

Giraldo on other side showed very good performance against Dutra Silva in first round and won with 6-2 6-2 . He is very good on clay . Can play very good in long rallies , and also he defend many points here as last year he played in semi final .

So I see Giraldo as huge favourite here and I will go on his win in 2 sets .
