Tough match to predict but I will rather take Youzhni than Melzer.Youzhni is not too strong mentally but he has superb shots,his backhand is incredible and his forehand is good too.He showed yesterday how he plays when he is in form.He didn`t have any mistake,he was superb!Also Melzer is playing very good,he likes the players which are playing defensively `cos he is leftie player and his forehand is strong so the opposites have problem to catch..Both are good servers,they are using technical serve.Youzhni is overall better player than Melzer,also Youzhni is better ranked and my thoughts are that he should win in this match if he is not hited by some mentally problems.That`s a little caution but I don`t believe that he will have this problems `cos this is semi final and he should be motivated..

A team with score 9-19 shouldn`t be favorite even at home against team with 15-13 score. The important thing is that Loyola is on fire after two consecutive wins against title contender Gonzaga and also tough team Portland.Loyola Marymount has a good chance to finish 4th and if they do that they will face against first-round bye which will be big help in the tournament.The road coach have all players healthy.When Loyola is playing with their best line-up they manage to win 6 times and loss just one time.The hosts in this match San Diego are sinking lately,they`ve lost five matches in a row.Also San Diego were playing against Gonzaga(February 13) and Portland (February 11) and they were smashed by them,lost from Gonzaga by 17and Portland by 14 points.This is crucial match for Loyola if they want to earn good seed for the WCC tournament and I think that this odds represents superb value.San Diego have no chance to through and they will play only for pride but their opponent have quality and better players so they should be the winners at the end.Good luck
