Today in 1/16 finals on a men's chordate tournament in Basel we are expected by a meeting between American Donald Young and Ukrainian Ilya Marchenko. It will be the first meeting between tennis players in a tour.
Donald Young last year not bad showed on this tournament, having passed prior to a quarterfinal, having beaten on Kevin Anderson's grid in 2 sets, having yielded only to the compatriot Sok in 3 sets in equal fight. In this season Young in the hall played only one tournament in last week in Stockholm where he lost already on start to Frenchman Mannarino in 2 sets. Here he played already 2 matches in qualification, having surely won both matches and having shown that in rather quite good form arrived here.
For Marchenko it is already the 5th tournament in the hall in a hard in this season. So far special progress the Ukrainian not of display, but it has a quite good victory in Metz over Seppi and an equal match then with Mai. Antwerp last week where it on 2 taybreyka lost to British Edmund was the last tournament for the Ukrainian, and in each of sets it conducted with a break on the set course, but couldn't hold this advantage. The Ukrainian on a hard also shows the best tennis, he perfectly is able to be protected, but here in giving there are some problems.
