ATP Challenger Honolulu - Ginepri v Soeda

R Ginepri @ 1.65 to beat G Soeda - This should be a real toughie. Soeda after Nishikori, is the best player Japan has to offer. He broke the top 100 last year but has failed to progress further. He is a good little hard court player and is a solid performer. Ginepri will be hugely motivated to win this title and start some real progression up the ATP rankings. He may not ever reach the worlds top 20 again, but a top 50 spot is very achievable, and these matches are great for collecting sizeable points, and also building confidence. With big Masters events in Miami and Indian Wells coming up, Ginepri will look to show what he can do and even bag himself a wildcard for these events. Much will depend on the Ginepri 1st serve... if it is working then he should win, if not then Soeda will have a fighting chance
