This could be a very even match up. Robredo suprised me in the last round defeating Mardy Fish. I think the American went into melt-down rather than Robredo playing great tennis, but still it is a confidence boosting win for the Spaniard. Stakhovsky on the other hand defeated Pole Lukas Kubot in straight sets. kubot did have many chances in the match and Stakhovsky was not all that impressive. I think this match will be about who can serve a higher percentage of first serves and woh can return weak 2nd serves the best. The head to head is one each, both matches where in 2010 and on hardcourts. There are only 9 places seperating these two in the rankings and it could well go to 5 sets. I think I just fancy Robredo here and the odds are much more generous.
Match Prediction: Tommy Robredo to win
