 Nieminens recent performances were not really the way to rate him a trustworthy choice here - but i simply remember him as a player who has some class on this surface, a clever player with a higher standard than Minar. To rely on the fins terrible record this year can also point to a maybe very high motivation of him to have success here at the US Open.

 Easy one for me. Nieminen is much overrated. He had awefull record on hard courts this year. He shouldn't win even in a first round. Minar is in a great form. He won against Kiefer and it tells everything. I don't care if German had an injury because a lot of players who feel they are going to lose call medic and plasy an injury ;) Anyway all in all easy win for Ivo Minar for a magnificent reate 2.55

 These are the trends aren't they? Minar beats Keifer so what? Keifer retired ppl!!! Clearly his injury helped decide the outcome.

Niemenen is a classy player in my books and apart from most of his GS being terminated generally by top seeded players, he rarely fails unlike ppl like Soderling that one horse GS choke.

Niemenen will win. Mark my words.

 Minar should be at least even money on this one. Very generous odds...

 Going with Minar here, His record is absolutely amazing and he is in fair enough form to win this match, while Nieminen has been very inconsistent of late losing out in some interesting matches, i pick Minar here because i think tht he has the ability and the game to match the game of Nieminen.

 Minar was all over Kiefer like a rash before the German retired with injury when trailing dismally deep into the fourth set. He served 54% of first balls in, produced 9 aces and won 81% behind the first ball whilst he was also on-song from the back of the court making less than half the errors of Kiefer (26 to 54) and coming up with some very nice passing shots when the German was at the net. Jarkko Nieminen can go some way to erasing his poor 2008 with a good finish to the season, and he started off in style by accounting for disappointing local Scoville Jenkins. The Finn faced 10 break points and was vulnerable in the latter stages of the third, but the American made too many rash errors and was abysmal on the second serve where Nieminen managed to take 64% of the points to prevail in 3 sets. The only previous encounter was back when Minar was ranked outside the top 100, and was also on his least favoured clay surface. The improving Czech instead prefers the quicker surfaces that are more conjucive to his attacking and aggressive baseline approach, and this year has produced wins over Mahut, Schwank, Rochus, Chela, Isner, Kunitsyn and Hanescu. The win was just Minar's second in 12 career attempts which is bound to give him confidence, and given in recent times he has proved deceivingly difficult to break he could very well stick it out with the consistent Nieminen. The Finn is still lacking confidence and by no means in form, and when a predominantly defensive player is in that frame of mind they have a tendecy to try and overcook things as well as not delivering the killer punch when required. Wouldn't be touching Nimo at these odds, and I get a sneaky suspicion that Minar will set up a clash with Gonzo.
