Illia Marchenko raised his game a lot this season and became a decent player who is capable to win against players like poor and out of form Vliegen.
The Belgian player is having a really poor season, part because of his medical problems which made him out of top 300.
Vliegen is not a hard court fan, he never was and even when he played better his result on hard where really poor.
Marchenko’s talent prevailed and he showed that he is capable to commpete no mater the surface. He has 21-16 this season and on hard has 8-4. His best performance is QF at Marseilles, Zagreb and Eastbourne.
His atacking style suits very well on hard court and I expcet him to win today against a player who honestly I don’t know why is competing on hard in stead of competing on clay.
I expect Marchenko’s more solid and consistent game at this moment to prevail by the end.
Marchenko to win this one but with medium stakes!
