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.
