G. Muller vs B. Tomic

[nutzguy16]

This match will pit Gilles Muller, the man who just won the longest match in Australian Open history with a 63 76 46 46 16-14 win over 27th seed Feliciano Lopez, against Bernard Tomic, the 16 year old Australian sensation that recently beat Potito Starace for his first ATP and Grand Slam match win. Who do you think will win? Discuss!

Whoever wins, it has now ruined my Racket Bracket.

I say Tomic, just because Muller should be exhausted.

 

[Telepatic]

Tomic will win for sure, Muller is pretty much dead now i think.

 

[iriraz]

I will go with Muller and his serve.I doubt he will be that exhausted because he proved he can play a couple of long matches at the Us Open.

 

[IvanAndreevich]

Wow.. Tomic - http://www.atpworldtour.com/3/en/players/playerprofiles/?playernumber=TA46 ranked 768. By winning his first round match, he is moving probably hundreds of places.

 

[SikSerb]

lol Tomic is going to verse a dead Muller. Tomic is definetly a very promising player, but i did see somewhere that he had 61 winners and 61 unforced errors intresting stat lol. Also he did come up against Starace who isnt good on HC but nonetheless a great win for the kid.

Tomic to take the match in straight sets.

Tomic will win for sure, Muller is pretty much dead now i think.

Don't forget about what Muller did in last year's US open. He won a couple of tough qualifiers followed by tougher matches in the main draw including saving match points in 5 setters before finally succumbing to Federer in the QF's.

 

[counter_puncher]

Muller will DOMINATE.

 

[Rickson]

Good win for the kid.

 

[J-man]

I actually will go with Tomic in this one. I think he has the better groundies and all he has to worry about is holding serve (not a big deal for him against Muller) and getting Muller's serve back in play. Muller has to be feeling it a bit now too after his long match with Lopez (that match is the longest in AO history right?)

 

[DarthFed]

Didn't Muller even beat Davy?

He'll be okay

 

[edberg505]

I'm going with the lefty from Luxembourg! I love his game. Tomic's serve is as weak as a sprite in a booty club. He's got to work on that if he wants to get better. Also his forehand is subject to break down. Tomic screwed up my draw but I did have Müller going through Lopez and his 2nd round match as well.

tomic backhand is pretty awesome, and that entire young a. clement look was pretty cool. i have a feeling that his train will stop at mullerstown, but i will be rooting for him.

 

[nikedelux]

i know gilles muller very well (he is from my club)and i am sure he will beat tomic even he's a very good player.muller will dominate with his serve and win in 3or 4 sets.ALLEZ MULLES

 

[origmarm]

Not that I'm biased but it has to be the Schifflange Superman in 4. Tomic's win was important for him today but I just don't think he's there yet.

Does he still play at at Schifflange or did he move to CK in the end? Or am I wrong on both counts?

Expect Clement's are prescription his are not :wink:

 

[Shabazza]

My head says Müller in 4. I will be rooting for Tomic though, because I like fairytale-stories and a good run for Tomic at the AO (3rd+) would certainly be one.

I second that, why couldn't they jsut follow the script?

 

[jaggy]

I have to say I never would have predicted this poll appearing in my lifetime. Gotta love tennis!

 

[nikedelux]

no , Gilles doesn't play at Schifflange anymore.He moved to Tennis Spora in winter

no he doesn't play at Scifflange anymore.He moved to Tennis Spora in winterbut he's still my favourite player

 

[vbranis]

Muller is extremely fit, he will recover quickly. Muller in 4.

 

[rubberduckies]

Where's option of 2 sets followed by a default due to Bernard's dad?

 

[bolo]

Muller in 3, it will be impressive if tomic takes a set. I hope that happens so we can see the kid play a bit more.

 

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

The other day many were predicting that Tomic would win due to the "fact" that Muller played a 5 hour plus match, but an error in the time showed the match to be around 4hrs and 25 minutes. Due to the fact that this is a night match, Muller will be able to serve all night and take the youngster out.

Muller in 3 sets, hopefully he gets a set to make it interesting.

I can't believe they put this match on rod laver and put roddick on the the other stadium. I mean these two guys barely have any rankings, no matter the nationality you have to put the better and achieved players on the bigger court. Tomic is gonna get killed anyways so why not put him on a small court in the back.
