Jerzy Janowicz vs Tommy Robredo Betting Preview

Jerzy Janowicz is one of the tennis players who made significant progress in 2014 and he now sits in the 25th place. Another victory at Wimbledon will help him climb the ladder even further, but in order to advance to the next stage, he will have to cause the untimely elimination of Tommy Robredo. His opponent is better known for his stellar performances on clay, but the 32-year-old veteran greatly improved his game on grass.

Jerzy Janowicz vs Tommy Robredo Betting Tips

Jerzy Janowicz played against Devvarman in the opening match of the Wimbledon tournament and after almost 4 hours of play he emerged victorious. His opponent was relentless and despite the fact that he dropped back-to-back sets after winning the opener, he never gave up and put Jerzy to a serious test.

The Polish player had to fight just as hard in the next round against former champion Lleyton Hewitt who staged an impressive comeback, only to lose in five sets. Today he is credited with the first chance against Robredo but there are plenty of reasons to expect an equally long confrontation.

Tommy can't brag about a stellar performance on the British grass, but so far everything seems to be going his way as the Spaniard won the first two games with relative ease. He was marginal favorite against his first two opponents but he exceeded expectations to win both games in under three hours and he only dropped one set.

Robredo decided to take a two week break after Roland Garros, where he was eliminated by the powerful server, John Isner. Tommy has a hard time countering the first serve but luckily for him, Jerzy Janowicz is not the kind of player to serve double-digit aces in one set.

Key Facts

• Janowicz is eight years younger and he lacks experience in the final stages of grand slam tournaments, so he will play under a lot of pressure
• The two players didn't get the chance to face each other before and Robredo sits in the 22nd place, three positions about his rival.

Jerzy Janowicz vs Tommy Robredo Betting Prediction

Bookmakers would like us to believe that Jerzy Janowicz is favorite to win the match, mostly due to the fact that he proved to be more than a match for Lleyton Hewitt. Robredo was more effective at disposing of his opponents so far, is the more experienced player and spent less time on the tennis court at Wimbledon. Fatigue could become an issue but only in the later stages of the tournament, so age shouldn't be factored in when backing Tommy to prevail at odds of 2.25.
