Match between Witten which is 2 class better then Niland..Niland is solid for futures or for challengers in 1st round but sure that he will lose here.If we look at the ATP ranking we will see that their difference is 125 places..Just to sum up that Witten is fantastic challenger player and is well known at that level..The match with Djokovic in Us Open(2009) was his best match ever he played and was in 4 sets losing with no big difference(7-6 3-6 6-7 4-6).In that match we saw pretty big flat forehand which is big trouble to his opponent in this clash and that`s it Niland..Witten has started very well in this qualifications with win against Checa Calvo 6:3 6:2..Niland started this qualficiations with solid win too 6:4 6:4 against young Finnish player Kontinen..I never saw him in play so I don`t what is big advantages but against much better player for Usa I can`t just see any chance for him..All in all Witten is mostly playing on hard surface and will have big advantage against Nilland and I must say that this is banker.Good luck

2nd round in Australian Open qualifications and the 25th seeded in this qualifications E.Roger Vasselin will meet Indian Prakash Amritraj..Favorite in this match is sure the Frenchman.Both players are not so far on the ATP ranking but still Vasellin is above Amritraj 43 places.Amritraj in one interview stated that he is not training that much and his motivation is to travel and to see some places in the world..He prefers to play on hard court but looks shaky at last time and lost yesterday one set from Beggemann who is 231 on ATP.On the other side Vasselin is all round player who can play on all surfaces.His quickness against slowly Amritraj will be big advantage.Roger should trouble his opponent with his baseline forehand and two handed backhand..Vasselin is not bad server and should keep his serve against choker Amritraj..All in all he is favorite here and the odd is good so he is worthing a shot.Good luck
