Match between two challenger players,Lojda Czech nationality and Rick De Voest is coming from South Africa..This match is 1st round in Australian Open qualifications and both are fresh for this new season and will want to prove their name in those important qualifications.Lojda is better ranked for about 20 places in Atp but in 2009 De Voest had big downtrend and fell about 80 places..Lojda is unknown player for me and the important thing is that he is playing mostly on dirty clay and the hardcourts is not his preffered surface..He is 32-22 for 8 seasons.On the other side South African Rick De Voest is big guy and opposite who likes the fast surfaces because in his country mostly tournaments are on hard surface and they are accustomed on it..De Voest is older 8 years and is more experienced then Lojda.He has good score on hard surface 219/149.This season he has played only 2 matches which one of them he won and one lost..His big flat serve,strong forehand from the line and some serve volley points will prevail in this match.Good luck

Odds suggest this match as 52%-48% in favour of Becker but are they giving too much on the German? Becker who is not too much mentally prepared,is going to show his physical strength and his big flat serve will prevail in this match..Becker was born in Usa where he was training at one of the most famous academy in the world and that`s it Nick Bolletieri academy!He is taking most of his shots along the baseline and his most powerful shot after his serve is his forehand.In 1st real test for Becker this season he lost but he was in good position after taking the 1st set 6-4 against big man Karlovic and leading in the 2nd with 2:1(with break) but from there he fell down a bit and he lost the match in 3 sets.This odds on Chela which are about 2.00-2.15 are maybe `cos of his qualification matches where he won against good opponents Falla(1st round),Vassalo Arguello(1/8 final) and Sweeting(1/4final).The interesting thing in that matches is that Chela was playing too much and that will caused tiredness for sure..All in all he was on the court 6 hours,47 minutes and 47 seconds,average 2hours,15 minutes and 82 seconds.And on the other side Becker is fresh because he is 8th seeded in this tournament and don`t need to play qualifications.If we look at the statistic we can see that Chela 2nd serve is too slow and the opponents were using that which could be one more advantage for Becker.Afterwards Chela is clay court player who was in his best 3-4 years ago when he was at top 15(I`m not so sure).After spending so much time in qualifications and the thing that he is 31 years old player who is getting less and less stamina I`m expecting that Becker will used all this disadvantages of Chela and be the winner in the end..

H2H 1:1

2006 : B.Becker-J.I.Chela 6:3 6:4 4:6 4:6 8:10 2005 : B.Becker-J.I.Chela 6:3 3:6 6:3 6:4

The H2H is not important because this matches were played 4-5 years ago and Chela was much more younger and fresh which is not now and on the other side Becker was not so experienced `cos he started to make tennis career in 2005.All in all Becker is really big favorite in this match..

P.S I write this preview yesterday and now the odds are not in favour of Becker but still I like this bet a lot.
